Guinean 'law and order' chief urges lynching

In a shocking acknowledgment of the military junta's impotence, Guinea's anti-crime chief has urged the population to burn alive armed robbers caught in the act.

"I'm asking you to burn all armed bandits who are caught red-handed committing an armed robbery," said Captain Moussa Tiegboro Camara. "The prisons are full and cannot take more people, and the situation cannot continue like that."
Human rights groups have denounced the call.
