CONARKY, Guinea, Dec. 4 (UPI) -- Capt. Moussa Dadis Camara, Guinea's military leader, was shot and wounded by an aide in Conarky, a government spokesman says.
Officials said Camara was "in good health," the BBC reported.

Communication Minister Idrissa Cherif named aide-de-camp Aboubacar "Toumba" Diakite as being behind the attack.
Some reports had Diakite under arrest, others had him in hiding.
Analysts say the shooting highlights deep rifts within the junta after the killing of an estimated 157 opposition supporters in September.
A U.N. team has been in the capital this week to investigate the incident in which soldiers opened fire in a stadium packed with protesters. Several women reported being gang-raped by soldiers.
