Troops to reenter fight against bird flu

   SEOUL, April 24 (Yonhap) -- The Defense Ministry said Thursday it has deployed some 150 troops to a southwestern city to help bury hundreds of thousands of fowls infected with avian influenza.

The move comes two days after the ministry pulled out all its service members from the task following a soldier's suspected contraction of the deadly avian virus.
