Angry mob attacks Ebola centre in Guinea

Crowd accuses Doctors Without Borders workers of spreading the disease

A crowd angry about an Ebola outbreak that has killed 86 people across Guinea attacked a centre on Saturday where victims were being held in isolation.

The attack took place in the southern town of Macenta, where at least 14 people have died since the outbreak started last month.

The mob accused Doctors Without Borders health workers of bringing Ebola to Guinea, where there had never previously been any cases.

Guinea’s government said that aid groups were key to stopping the spread of Ebola.
