Initial test results on dead Saudi man negative for Ebola: health ministry

Saudi Arabia's health ministry said on Saturday that initial tests on a dead Saudi citizen suspected of having contracted Ebola had returned negative. The man died on Wednesday after returning from a business trip to Sierra Leone and presenting symptoms similar to those of Ebola sufferers. Ebola is one of the deadliest diseases known in humans with a fatality rate of up to 90 percent. The U.N. World Health Organization (WHO) said on Friday the current West African outbreak represents an international health emergency that is likely to continue spreading for months.
