LOME, Jan. 13 (Xinhhua) -- Guinea's wounded junta chief had been flown from Morocco to Burkina Faso, reports reaching here said on Wednesday.

The reports said Capt. Moussa "Dadis" Camara was flown into Burkina Faso late on Tuesday where he will receive further medical treatment.

A statement from Burkina Faso's Foreign Ministry said that Camara came to the country to continue his recovery.

Guinea's vice president Gen. Sekouba Konate would fly to Burkina Faso to visit Camara on Wednesday.

A statement read earlier on Guinea's state radio said Konate would go to Burkina Faso immediately to see Camara.

Konate flew to Morocco and visited Camara early this month.

Camara escaped an assassination attempt weeks ago but got injured in head. He was immediately flown to Morocco for treatment.

He was said not seriously injured and would give a televised speech to his nation but he failed so far.

Camara took power in a bloodless coup on Dec. 23, 2008, just hours after the announcement of long-standing ruler Lansana Conte's death from illness.

The regime has come under international pressure since the September massacre of opposition supporters by junta forces.
