North Korean leader Kim Jong-un has proposed a new conspiracy theory for the spread of Ebola epidemic that says Washington invented the deadly virus and is using it to restrain the developing world.

The idea that was touted in an editorial titled, "Ebola virus much feared as biological weapon," in the Pyongyang Times on Monday termed Ebola a "multifaceted conspiracy." It accused the U.S. of reaping benefits for big pharma companies through the sale of vaccines while stagnating economies that could grow to challenge the U.S, reported News.com.au.

It also alleged that Washington aimed to spread the disease throughout the world and make a fortune out of producing vaccines in the long run.
