Eight bodies found after attack on Guinea Ebola education team

What’s the ROE was also the first question that popped into my mind.

Becomes of paramount importance once the manner of attack is revealed, stones and knives. How does that play out on prime time news?? We know that question will rule the decision making process at the WH.

What is to be allowed if our troops are the targets of urine or feces? Will WH allow these to be considered deadly weapons? Recall that at West Point, Liberia at the start of that attempt at quarantine, the West Pointers reacted in just such manner to local police/troops.

Already West Africans are questioning the “true purpose” of US troops. Just go to the African news sources and read the comments. What of the indigenous islam population and the wackadoo mullahs?

This is becoming a re-enactment of Joseph Conrad’s works.

Conakry - Seven people who were part of a team sent to educate villagers in south-eastern Guinea about Ebola have been found dead after they were attacked by angry locals, the government said on Thursday.

The bodies were recovered from the septic tank of a primary school in the village of Wome, government spokesperson Albert Damantang Camara told AFP, adding that the victims were “killed in cold blood by the villagers”.

BBC quoted Guinea’s government as saying the bodies included those of three journalists and three doctors.

“Three doctors and three journalists disappeared after being pelted with stones by residents when they arrived in the village of Wome - near where the Ebola outbreak was first recorded,” the report said.

An Al-Jazeera report said on Thursday that three of the bodies had their throats slit.

It was not immediately clear what prompted the violence, but the spread of Ebola has been accompanied by mistrust and paranoia by villagers who feel the government and international community cannot be trusted.

The gruesome discovery came as the World Health Organisation (WHO) said more than 700 more Ebola cases had emerged in West Africa in the past week, the report said
