WHO is investigating a report that ISIS fighters have contacted Ebola

An unconfirmed report has disclosed that  an undisclosed number of militants displaying signs of the disease attended a hospital in the ISIS-held city of Mosul, disease reportedly brought to Mosul by terrorists from several countries especially Africa. 

Mosul has been under control of ISIS since June 2014 and over the past few weeks militants have reportedly executed more than a dozen doctors for refusing to treat injured fighters.


UN workers are currently banned from entering ISIS-controlled areas in both Iraq and Syria. 
In addition, very few ISIS fighters are believed to have travelled up from West Africa where the Ebola outbreak originated with most coming from areas where there have been no reports of the disease.
The symptoms of Ebola, which include nausea and vomiting, diarrhea, bleeding and bruising, are similar to those of other diseases including malaria and yellow, it has killed more than 7000 people in West Africa. Source dailymail
