TUNIS, Tunisia — Tunisian authorities are investigating a claim that a woman in Tunisia is pregnant with 12 babies. French and British media reported the woman will soon give birth to six girls and six boys. A Health Ministry official in Tunisia said Tuesday the claim seemed doubtful and that the woman — who has not been identified — has refused to see a doctor for an ultrasound. Another Health Ministry official said a team was sent to the southern town of Gafsa to try to meet the woman. The officials, not authorized to speak publicly about the case, asked not to be named. ______ Copyright 2009 Associated Press. All rights reserved.
