WHO: Congo approves use of experimental Ebola vaccine

A U.S. diplomat who killed a Pakistani motorcyclist in a road accident last month has left the country after getting clearance from authorities. Officials said that U.S. military attache Col. Joseph Emanuel Hall was allowed to leave Islamabad on Monday.

Hall ran a red light and hit motorcyclist Attique Baig last month but was not arrested because he has diplomatic immunity.

Congo has agreed to allow the World Health Organization to use an experimental Ebola vaccine to combat an outbreak announced last week, the WHO director-general said Monday.

As of Sunday, Congo had 39 suspected, probable and confirmed cases of Ebola since April, including 19 deaths, WHO reported.
