A dispute broke out at the head of Guinea�s military government last night after a junta leader sought to arrest a military officer for his part in the mass killings of anti-government protesters last month.
The incident at junta leader Captain Moussa Dadis Camara�s headquarters in the capital Conakry is the latest sign of rifts within the leadership and came just hours after France for the first time suggested Camara could be implicated in the deaths.
On Wednesday night, Deputy junta leader General Sekouba Konate summoned police to arrest Camara�s aide-de-camp Aboubacar Sidiki �Toumba� Diakite but the arrest was aborted as a dispute flared within the camp, senior police and military sources told Reuters.
�It was General Konate who ordered the arrest of Toumba,� a senior police officer said. �There were heated discussions. At that moment I left.�
