MOSCOW, September 24 (RIA Novosti) - Russia's health ministry said on Thursday its inclusion in the World Health Organization's list of countries with swine flu fatalities was based on unverified information.

The ministry denied on Monday reports of Russia's first swine flu fatality, saying the cause of death was pneumonia.

A leading Russian virologist earlier told national media that a woman had died of swine flu on August 19 after returning to Moscow from Bulgaria.
