Interim Guinea leader 'not sick'

Conakry, 11 Jan-(ANA)-Guinea's health minister has denied reports that the country's caretaker leader, Sekouba Konate, has been flown to Senegal for hospital treatment.

Abdoulaye Cherif Diaby told state radio that Mr Konate was going to Dakar, "for an official visit, but he is not sick".

Earlier, unnamed officials had said the vice-president was ailing and possibly suffering from cirrhosis of the liver.

He has been in charge of Guinea while Capt Moussa Dadis Camara recovers in Morocco from an assassination attempt.

Meanwhile, the International Criminal Court has said a prosecutor will assess whether crimes against humanity were committed during a crackdown by the military on an opposition protest in September. (ANA)
