I went to six teams of veterinary supervision of the Department of Health to the massacres consisting of (24) veterinary doctors and veterinary assistants over the entire week screening and investigation of a house suspected by the neighbours.

The surrounding area has been divided into blocks from the home of the suspect up to a depth of 2 km, with the investigation into all these homes with the assistance of the Office of the Martyr al-Sadr (holy) in the region.

Formed six teams veterinary visit the area and work for a full week, where it was the visit of the house of the suspect that he is afflicted child (Haider Rezag Shamri), and it became clear that it was not in the house of any poultry or birds and unprecedented visit anywhere contains chicken have also not left the region of luxury to any party whatsoever, there had not been the role of neighbouring them contain Perhaps j chickens or bathroom.

The commissions of inquiry citizens of a scale in poultry The answer was negative.

Analysis:

Through studying topographic region there are opportunities lacking the very arrival of any birds land in the region because of water pools and pollutants firing labs around the region as well as noise and congestion, which did not encourage any birds land potential alight in the region and direct contact with the birds home.

Notes that the number of chickens in the region is very small (168) and chickens (394) dove to 248 homes, representing a decline of 20% of these homes contain poultry and bathroom, a very simple, thereby reducing the chances Llvairos presence in the region.

There is an eyewitness reported that the child was deceased had fallen into a quagmire and diving full Pantchalh of the swamp, which is likely to have suffered as a result of pulmonary inflammation Astensagh water pools.
