Conakry - Guinea said on Monday a cooler
carrying a stolen blood sample infected with the
deadly Ebola virus, stolen en route to a test
centre, was unlikely ever to be found.
A gang of robbers held up a taxi last week near
the town of Kissidougou which was transporting
the sample from central Kankan prefecture to
southern Gueckedou, around 265km away.
"We are confident of not being able to find this
cooler. With the media attention around the case,
we are confident that the bandits would have got
rid of it," said Fode Tass Sylla, spokesman for the
government's Ebola response unit.
