Guinea soldiers arrested for attack on president's home
At least 37 soldiers have been arrested in Guinea following the attack on President Alpha Conde's home, officials say.
The detained soldiers include high-ranking officers who were close to Guinea's former military junta, the officials said.
The junta handed power to Mr Conde last year after he won elections.
Forces loyal to Mr Conde repelled the attack on his private residence in the capital, Conakry, on Tuesday.
Officials said the building was hit by gunfire and rocket-propelled grenades.
At least one guard was killed, several more wounded and parts of the house were destroyed.
Mr Conde - Guinea's first democratically elected president - escaped unhurt.

A man inspectas a sinkhole formed in a house on July 19, 2011 in the north of Guatemala City. When neighbors heard the loud boom overnight they thought a cooking gas canister had detonated. Instead they found a deep sinkhole the size of a large pot inside a home in a neighborhood just north of Guatemala City. The sinkhole was 12.2 meters (40 feet) deep and 80 centimeters (32 inches) in diameter, an AFP journalist who visited the site reported. Police, members of the country's natural disaster office and water utility company officials came to visit the site. Sinkholes, formed by the natural process of erosion, can be gradual but are often sudden.
