Kinshasa, DR Congo: The Democratic Republic of Congo is investigating a suspected case of Ebola in its violence-wracked east, the World Health Organization (WHO) said Saturday (Sunday in Manila), just weeks after the end of a previous epidemic.

The DRC early last month declared its latest Ebola outbreak over, more than two months after the virus re-emerged in the northwestern Equateur province.
