Dutch AIDS worker slain
A Dutch worker with the Clinton Foundation was shot to death outside the house of Lesotho’s trade and industry minister, police said.
Heavy gunfire erupted when Samuella Jacobina Verwey, 36, her husband and two U.S. aid workers got out of a car at Minister Mpho Malie’s house. The minister and his wife were in neighboring South Africa at the time.
President Clinton offered his condolences in a prepared statement and said he hoped her killers would be brought to justice. He said Verwey had trained local doctors and nurses in Lesotho to care for AIDS patients.
