      Guinea Court Jails 2 for Life for Assassination Attempt on President

   A court in Guinea has sentenced two people to life in prison for
   attempting to assassinate President Alpha Conde two years ago.
   Six others were sentenced to prison terms of up to 15 years for their
   roles in the July 2011 attack.
   President Conde survived the assault, but at least one of his guards
   was killed and at least two others were injured.
   The attack came just seven months after Mr. Conde took office,
   following Guinea`s first-ever democratic election.
   The nation has been plagued by decades of misrule, coups and political
   violence.
