Guinea's junta accuses Kouchner

Conakry, 11 Dec-(ANA)-France's Foreign Minister Bernard Kouchner was involved in a plot to kill the leader of Guinea's ruling junta, the country's military rulers say.

Junta spokesman Idrissa Cherif said Mr Kouchner had "activated some networks" in order to "change the situation" in the West African country.

France's government said the claims were "completely groundless".

Junta leader Capt Moussa Dadis Camara is said to be recovering after being shot in the head last week.

He was flown out to Morocco for treatment and the soldier suspected of the shooting, Lt Toumba Diakite, is still on the run in Guinea. (ANA)
