A mob attacked an Ebola treatment center in Guinea, accusing it of infecting the town with disease, according to Reuters.
MSF spokesman Sam Taylor told a Thomson Reuters Foundation reporter that the attackers in Macenta, around 425 km (265 miles) southeast of the capital Conakry, had accused staff of bringing the disease to the town.

Victims of a deadly ebola epidemic, which is out of control in West
Africa, could be treated with experimental drugs to see if their are
effective, the head of London-based health charity said last night.
Jeremy Farrar, a professor of tropical medicine, said trialling drugs that had not been fully tested would be better than “tepid sponging” and the promise of a proper burial which is all doctors can offer at present.
“It’s ridiculous that we haven’t got these products out of labs and animal trials and into human testing, and at least offered to people,” he said.
