WORLD BRIEFING / GUINEA

Guinea’s new military leaders have accused the former heads of the army and navy of drug trafficking, the latest charges the junta has made against officers in senior positions under the former regime.

State television showed officers, including former army chief Gen. Diarra Camara and former navy head Adm. Aly Daffe, being bundled into vehicles by armed soldiers.

“These officers are accused of having taken part in the drugs trade. It is now up to the courts to decide their fate,” said Capt. Moussa Tiegboro Camara, secretary of state in charge of fighting drug trafficking and banditry.
