Guinea's junta offered a large reward Saturday for the capture of a junior officer accused of trying to kill the country's military leader, who was in stable condition recovering from gunshot wounds. Captain Moussa Dadis Camara underwent surgery in Morocco, where he was airlifted from his west African country on Friday after a bullet grazed his head in an apparent assassination attempt the night before. 'He is very well,' his spokesman Idrissa Cherif said in Conakry. 'We have spoken on the telephone, there are no problems and his condition is stable.' Cherif insisted 'it was not a big operation but a minor intervention.' The regime's number two, General Mamadouba 'Toto' Camara, was also receiving medical treatment at undisclosed conditions in Morocco. General Sekouba Konate, junta number three and defence minister, thus became the country's de facto leader after returning from Lebanon late Friday. The junta offered a reward for the capture of the junior officer accused of shooting Camara, who said in a separate telephone call with selfnews that he was still at large and 'in a safe place.' 'I am in Guinea, I am free to move about,' said Lieutenant Aboubacar Sidiki Diakite. 'I have a fair number of men with me.' Diakite, known as Toumba, refused to discuss the attack on Camara, saying he was waiting 'to see how things develop.' A junta officer appeared on state television late Saturday urging the population 'to help actively in the search for Diakite and his henchmen,' promising a 'large reward' to anyone helping capture him. Television networks broadcast Diakite's photograph, while the junta member announced the arrest of at least four officers, including three on the border with Sierra Leone. 'Other arrests were made across the republic's different frontiers, including of sergeant Alpha Balde,' the officer said. Paramilitary police patrolled the streets of the capital, uneasily calm and full of busy shoppers. People were stocking up, uncertain about what could happen next, one resident noted. 'Everyone is looking for supplies, that's why there are so many people out, but it's an uneasy calm,' said Fatou Bintou, who works in a Conakry bank. Questions still remained about the seriousness of the condition of the junta chief, who came to power a year ago in a bloodless coup following the death of long-time ruler Lansana Conte. Burkina Faso President Blaise Compaore, who has been acting as a mediator in Guinea's political crisis, said Camara was 'in a difficult situation, for sure, but not a desperate one.' The general currently in charge, Konate, a former commander of an elite army unit, played a major role in the December 23 coup last year. 'He is in reality the number two, he has returned and all the commanders were at the airport to greet him,' said one foreign observer, calling Konate 'the strongman of the regime.' Besides the assassination attempt, Diakite is also accused of being responsible for soldiers killing scores of opposition demonstrators at a Conakry stadium rally on September 28. Guinea has been in the international spotlight since the stadium massacre, in which more than 150 people were killed and many women were publicly raped, according to rights groups. A soldier belonging to a guard close to Diakite said the shooting occurred after Camara told his aide he wanted to denounce him as the killings' ringleader. The government is probing the September disaster and a UN panel arrived in late November to investigate the matter. Guinea's political opposition is protesting Camara's candidacy in a presidential election set to be held in late January. The junta said 56 people died and 934 were injured, but Guinean rights groups and Human Rights Watch estimated at least 157 were killed, while the United Nations put the death toll at 150.
