US Aids researcher mugged on way to talk - SA

[dArKeR]

A world-renowned Aids researcher, attending the national HIV and Aids conference in Durban this week, was mugged by seven knife-wielding youths, who stole his bag containing years of intensive research data and all his personal belongings.

Professor Jim Mullins, visiting professor of microbiology at the University of Washington school of medicine and a plenary speaker at the conference, was leaving the back entrance of the Edward Hotel on Durban's beachfront and heading for the International Conference Centre to register for the four-day event, when he was surrounded by the youths, flashing knives in his face. They snatched his bag and ran off into the back streets leading to West Street.
