Nepalese condemn cholera study

The Nepalese army has condemned a study linking its United Nations peacekeepers in Haiti to a cholera epidemic there.



Sources say a study by a French medical professor found that the cholera outbreak in Haiti was an imported strain, and began at a base housing the Nepalese forces.



The disease has so far killed more than 2,000 people.



According to a spokesman for the army in Kathmandu, there is no concrete evidence to support the allegation.



He says the Nepalese base in Haiti has been tested three times and no cholera has been found.
