Seems unlikely - there is some mention of it at the BBC: http://newssearch.bbc.co.uk/cgi-bin/results.pl?q=Congo+Fever+Iran+Pakistan&scope=news&sortby=sortdate&tab=news and Janes is a British company, so that reduces the likelihood (not because the British are more reputable, just because it would have to be controlled in two countries). Speaking as a biased Brit, I find it often helps to go to news.bbc.co.uk for a broader view. Cheers, Paul --- "Is this an honest-to-god news blackout that I am witnessing? Anyone else heard of this story?"
