Ghana: Police quiz “coup plotters” a month before key elections

Ghanaian security officials on Monday were questioning a group of people picked up for allegedly plotting to overthrow President John Kufuor’s government, a month before the country holds key presidential and parliamentary elections. Authorities provided no details beyond a brief police statement saying the suspects were being held for “conspiracy to subvert the democratic government and perpetuate certain terrorist actions.” No charges have yet been pressed.
