CONAKRY, Guinea — Guinea’s president was medically evacuated to Morocco for treatment after he was shot during an assassination attempt nearly a year after he seized power in a coup, a government official said Friday.

Communication Minister Idrissa Cherif declined to elaborate on President Moussa “Dadis” Camara’s wounds, saying only that they were not life-threatening. Mr. Camara had breakfast with his closest aides and is “walking and talking and doing fine,” he said.

“He had an audience with us just before leaving,” Mr. Cherif said. “Everything is under control.”

Several people, however, said the president had suffered a bullet wound to the head. Mr. Cherif denied the reports.

The government said Mr. Camara was shot Thursday by Abubakar “Toumba” Diakite, who commands the presidential guard. A rift had opened between the two after presidential guard members killed at least 157 unarmed civilians at a pro-democracy rally in September.

A senior civil servant, who spoke on condition of anonymity because he isn’t authorized to speak to the press, said that he had spoken to members of the military who confirmed that Mr. Camara was in serious condition from a head wound. A retired diplomat, who spoke on condition of anonymity, said that he had spoken to the coup leader’s aides who said that Mr. Camara was bleeding from the head.

The 45-year-old Mr. Camara was shot while at a military camp housing hundreds of men under Mr. Diakite’s control, Mr. Cherif said. Mr. Camara had driven to Camp Koundara to confront Mr. Diakite after he went to a downtown police station and released officers that were loyal to him but whom Mr. Camara had ordered arrested, said Mr. Cherif. He confirmed that Mr. Diakite is still at large along with a contingent of his men, but declined to say how many people had been arrested in the investigation.

Thursday’s attack underscored the deep divide inside the military clique that grabbed control of this West African nation last December following the death of the country’s longtime dictator, Lansana Conte. Mr. Camara had initially promised to quickly organize elections, but then reversed course and began hinting that he planned to run for office, prompting a massive protest Sept. 28.

Mr. Diakite is accused of having led the presidential guard that opened fire on the peaceful demonstrators, who had gathered inside the capital’s national stadium. Human-rights groups say at least 157 people were killed and dozens of women were raped by the guard, who also assaulted them with bayonets, rifle butts and pieces of wood.

At least 20 women were kidnapped and driven away in military trucks to private villas where they were drugged and videotaped while they were being gang-raped over several days, according to three survivors as well as several human-rights groups. The government has denied all wrongdoing and blamed opposition leaders for going ahead with a banned protest.

The incident led the European Union and the African Union to impose sanctions on Guinea, including top members of the junta, who are now the subject of a travel ban. Sources inside the military say that deeply aggravated divisions that were already present and led to the clique fracturing further. Members of the junta, including Mr. Diakite, are believed to lead private armies that are faithful only to them.

A United Nations mission was in Conakry this week investigating the September killings and interviewed top military commanders in order to try to understand how the order to kill protesters was given. Some may face charges of crimes against humanity by the International Criminal Court.
