Guinean Soldiers Detained Over Assassination Attempt

Seven Guinean soldiers have been arrested over an apparent attempt to kill the head of the paramilitary police, according to reports reaching in Nairobi on Monday.

Colonel Jacques Toure, one of President Lansana Conte's closest aides, was ambushed in his car last week at a place close to Gueckedou in the south of the West African country, where government troops are fighting against an insurgency that has claimed at least 1,000 lives since last September.

"After a meeting on Friday evening between the head of state and senior officers, the seven soldiers were arrested and put into vehicles to be sent to one of the military camps in Conakry," one security source said.

Last month, Guinean forces began an offensive to try to end the insurgency which Conte blames on neighboring Liberia and Sierra Leonean rebels.
