Guinea's military leader Capt Moussa Dadis Camara could
be held responsible for the massacre of 157 protesters in
in September, a report says.
The Human Rights Watch report says the killings were
designed to silence opposition to military rule.
The authors say Guinea's presidential guard fired into the
crowd until they ran out of bullets.
Capt Camara has previously blamed the deaths on "out of
control" elements in the military.
The junta has said that 57 people died - and most of these
were trampled underfoot, rather than shot.

The prosecution in the trial of Former Liberian
President Charles Taylor has exposed a bank

checking account was opened December 1999 with
a one thousand US dollar initial deposit.

"IN 1990, when ECOMOG was being deployed in Liberia, the factions
there said categorically they were not going to accept any foreign troops
there. But, ECOMOG went in ..That is a precedent, and that we have
something we call cohesive intervention.
"ECOWAS is in consultation with the junta about contingency plans:
whatever that can be done in order to reassure the population of Guinea
and the neighbouring countries that the situation, as has been evolving
very rapidly in that country, will not have a domino effect in the Mano
rive region."

The biggest news coming from the African continent over the last
forthnight or so is being created in Guinea, a French-speaking country
located along the continent's west coast. Since September 28, the
political and military situation in that West African state has not stopped
deteriorating, following the cold-blooded murder of scores of opposition
protesters by a detachment of Guinea's armed forces at a political rally in
a sports stadium in the capital Conakry.

PHOENIX — Sexual assault charges against a 9-
year-old Liberian boy accused in the gang-rape of
an 8-year-old girl were dismissed on Wednesday
by a juvenile court judge in Phoenix.
The ruling issued by Maricopa County Superior
Court Judge Dawn Bergin came after she spent
weeks considering if the boy could be made to
understand the charges against him. In the seven-
page decision, she ruled that the boy could not
and is incompetent to stand trial. The charges,
sexual assault and sexual contact with a minor,
can't be refiled.
Bergin noted in her ruling that because the
offense was "serious" the boy is considered a
dependent child under Arizona law and programs
are available to rehabilitate him and protect the
public. He was held in juvenile detention for a
month after his arrest and then placed in a Child
Protective Services' foster home, where he
remains.
