Exclusive footage obtained by Al Jazeera reveals brutal treatment of military personel linked to a failed assassination attempt in Guinea.

Troops who took part in, or witnessed, the failed shooting of de facto president Captain Moussa Dadis Camara are being hunted down, and, in some cases it is claimed, shot dead.

Camara is undergoing treatment in a Moroccan hospital after he was shot in the head when he tried to arrest his own head of security - Aboubacar Sidiki Diakite.

The military president blamed Diakite for the massacre of more than 150 pro-democracy activists by the military in September.

But many believe Camara himself gave the military the order to fire, according to Al Jazeera's correspondent Yvonne Ndege.
