Liberia to prosecute national who took Ebola to US


Liberian authorities say they will prosecute Eric
Duncan, the Liberian man diagnosed with Ebola
in the US once he finishes his treatment in
America and returns home.
"We wish him a speedy recovery; we await
his arrival in Liberia to face prosecution"
Binyah Kesselly, chairman of the board of
directors of the Liberia Airport Authority
said.
Duncan is accused of lying to health officials
when he filled a questionnaire before leaving the
country last month saying that none of his
relatives were sick. But investigations by the
health ministry showed he had an Ebola infected
relative whom he had taken to a hospital on a
wheelbarrow but was turned back from the
hospital after being told they lacked bed space
for his ill relative.
Duncan, said to be in a serious condition in a
Dallas hospital, is the 1st case of Ebola to be
diagnosed on US soil.
