Inquiry Faults Liberia Force That Fired on Protestors

Monrovia, Liberia - Liberian security forces fired with 'complete disregard for human life' into crowds of civilians protesting a blanket Ebola quarantine over the summer, killing one teenager and seriously wounding another young man, according to the first independent investigation of the deadly clashes.

The findings directly contradict repeated assertions by the security forces, including the American-trained Liberian Army, that soldiers fired shots only into the air to enforce the quarantine of residents, which had been imposed against the advice of international Ebola experts and the government's own health officials.
