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.

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

Camara was shot and wounded by an aide weeks ago. The regime has come under international pressure since the September massacre of opposition supporters by junta forces.

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.
