Swedish Diplomat: Haitian Cholera From Nepal

If true, it means that UN troops brought the cholera epidemic to Haiti--which has killed over 1,000 people so far...

From Haitinews.net:
A Swedish diplomat claimed Wednesday that Haiti's cholera outbreak originated in Nepal.

'Unfortunately that is the case. It has proved that the cholera came from Nepal,' Claes Hammar, Sweden's ambassador to Haiti, told daily Svenska Dagbladet.

Hammar, who visited Haiti two weeks ago, said the information came from 'a diplomatic source. It is 100 percent true. Tests were made and the source was traced to Nepal.'
