Eight bodies, including those of three journalists, were found after an attack on a team trying to educate locals on the risks of the Ebola virus in a remote area of southeastern Guinea, a government spokesman said on Thursday.

"The eight bodies were found in the village latrine. Three of them had their throats slit," Damantang Albert Camara told Reuters by telephone in Conakry.

However, Guinea's Prime Minister Mohamed Saïd Fofana, speaking in a television message that had been recorded earlier, said 7 bodies of 9 missing people had been found.

He said six people have been arrested following the incident, which took place on Tuesday in Wome, a village close to the town of Nzerekore, in Guinea's southeast, where Ebola was first identified in March.

  2. Too bad we cant know whats really going on there. While attacking an education team is not beyond the realm of belief-- as these are (majority) of
    People who believe in witchcraft and no knowledge of the microbial causes of disease; this could have also been a covert op. China is positioning for takeover and control of most of africa's resources. A pandemic would remove a lot of ' bumps in the road. '
    Maybe some of the locals are not so compliant tob be herded into the cattle cars.
