Alleged plotters who tried to kill Guinea's junta leader Capt Moussa Dadis Camara are being "hunted down" and arrested, the military government says.
Junta spokesman Idrissa Cherif told the BBC more than 60 people had been held over last week's assassination attempt.
Other reports say troops are torturing and killing people and residents of the capital, Conakry, are living in terror.
Rights groups say Capt Camara, who is recovering after treatment for a bullet wound in the head, should step down.
He was flown to Morocco for surgery after the incident - with conflicting reports on
the seriousness of his injuries.
Junta officials say Lt Aboubacar "Toumba" Diakite, head of the presidential guard, carried out the attack on Capt Camara. He has not been caught.
