BANGKOK, March 8 (Reuters) - A 15-year-old Lao girl has died from bird flu, the Health Ministry said on Thursday, the country's first confirmed death from the H5N1 virus.

She died on Wednesday in a hospital in neighbouring Thailand, it said in a statement. A 42-year-old Lao woman died of suspected bird flu last week, but tests have not yet confirmed the H5N1 virus.

An anti-free trade protester sits in front of the Japanese Embassy with a dog in Bangkok April 3, 2007. Thai Prime Minister Surayud Chulanont is due to sign the trade pact, which protesters said would make Thailand an international industrial waste site, in Tokyo on Tuesday. The poster at left (featuring portraits of politicians involved in drafting the FTA) reads "wanted on charges for pre-meditated murder of Thailand."
