"Swine flu spreads to people in two ways. They can acquire the virus after being in contact with infected pigs or areas where the pigs have been – which is only likely to happen in Mexico – or they can catch it from an infected person. The disease spreads in the same way as human flu, by inhaling airborne particles from coughs and sneezes, or by touching a contaminated surface and then touching the nose or mouth."
So, as the WHO official for the region already stated, slaughtering the pigs in Egypt will have no affect on the spread of the disease, since the only infected pigs are in Mexico. Someone in Mexico (Patient Zero) contracted the flu from a pig, and now it is being spread human to human.
