I'm surprised that I haven't heard of this story before. Five Bulgarian nurses and a Palestinian doctor are being accused of starting a pediatric AIDS epidemic in Libya, apparently as part of a plot to shake down the West for cash.
Wiki article here.
Remind me not to take in jobs in Libya any time soon.

This story has been covered a lot on science blogs for obvious reasons. I first heard about it on Panda's Thumb. It is truly sick.
ReplyDeleteThis is the insane Stalinist show trial - 1984 kind of screwed up that makes me shake. I hope there are some "international organizations" on this thing.
