TUNIS (Reuters) - The first cases of the new H1N1 flu have been discovered by Tunisia in two citizens who arrived from the United States, a Health Ministry source said on Monday.

Both are in good health and are being kept under close surveillance, the source said.

The flu first broke out in Mexico in late April and has since spread to dozens of countries, killing about 180 people.
