Guinea President Dies, Soldiers Attempt Coup


Hours after the death of President Lansana Conte a group of Guinean soldiers announced their intention to suspend the constitution and the government. The group has been called "the minority" by General Diarra Camara, armed forces chief of Guinea.


President Conte had led the poverty-stricken nation since 1984. There have been several anti-government riots and strikes in the few years as citizens have struggled with a sagging economy. Last year more than 180 people were killed by government forces following one such riot.
