Moussa Dadis Camara: Guinea ex-ruler sprung from jail by armed men

Guinea's former military ruler, Moussa Dadis Camara, has been sprung from prison by armed men, the country's justice minister says.

The group stormed a jail in the capital, Conakry, early on Saturday morning - freeing Capt Camara and three others. One has since been found.

The fugitives are currently on trial for their alleged roles in deaths of more than 150 people in a 2009 protest.

The country's borders have been closed as the authorities hunt for them. read more
