Heavily armed assailants attacked the residence of Guinean President Alpha Conde early on Tuesday, killing one person while Conde escaped injury and is safe, a presidency source and eyewitnesses said, according to Reuters. "The president was there, but he is safe and sound," said the presidency source. Eyewitnesses said the attack took place at Conde's personal residence at around 1.30 a.m. local time and lasted over an hour. It was repelled by Conde's personal guard.
