AP is reporting 100 dead humans in Kikwit, Zaire, a city of 600,000. City

dead. Soldiers blocking roads.

World Health Organization microbiologist quoted as saying Ebola Virus is
responsible.

Outbreak began April 10th, when surgical patient contaminated medical

Anyone have any further info? Any CDC releases? Any WHO releases?
