20110720 Reuters CONAKRY (Reuters) - Guinean President Alpha Conde's guards repelled a second attack on his residence on Tuesday, presidency sources said of a fresh assault which left three dead and came hours after a rocket and gunfire attack by unknown assailants.
One presidency source said the second attack took place around 11 a.m. (1100 GMT), after an unharmed Conde had gone on state television to appeal for calm. The source said the latest attack was led by an officer who was part of the personal guard of ex-army chief Sekouba Konate.
