**Guinea’s military leader Capt Moussa Dadis Camara has been flown to Morocco for medical treatment after being shot by an aide on Thursday, officials say.**They had earlier said that Capt Camara had only been lightly wounded in the attack and was in “good health”.
Separate reports say the international airport in the capital Conakry has been surrounded by presidential guards.
The whereabouts of Aboubacar “Toumba” Diakite, the officer allegedly behind the attack, is unclear.
Officials had said he had been arrested after the shooting but reports on Friday say road-blocks have been set up in Conakry by security forces trying to find him.
Analysts say the shooting highlights deep rifts within the junta after the killing of an estimated 157 opposition supporters in September.
BBC West Africa correspondent Casper Leighton says the presence of UN investigators in Conakry this week has heightened tension within the military junta.
Lt Diakite has been accused by witnesses and human rights groups of commanding the troops who carried out the massacre. Several women have reported being gang-raped by soldiers.
Capt Camara has not been seen in public or appeared on national TV or radio since the shooting.
A Senegalese medical team flew to Guinea to treat him on Thursday night.
Communications Minister Idrissa Cherif told Reuters news agency that Capt Camara had gone to Morocco for a check-up.
