Ebola Center in Guinea Closed Because of Threats

An international aid organization suspended operations at its Macenta, Guinea, treatment center for patients with the deadly Ebola virus after workers there received threats.

Community members became agitated and aggressive as they blamed staff at the center for bringing the bleeding disorder to the country, according to a statement today from Sam Taylor, a spokesman for Swiss-based Medecins Sans Frontieres, also known as Doctors Without Borders. The aid group wants to resume activities as soon as possible, he said.
