CONAKRY (Reuters) - Military officers attempting a coup in Guinea chose a captain, Moussa Dadis Camara, as their leader on Wednesday and said they intended to install him as president.
"We're accompanying the president of the National Council for Democracy and Development (CNDD) into town," one of the officers told Reuters.
He said Camara had been appointed head of the CNDD coup junta and was being taken to the presidency building in downtown Conakry to be installed as president.
