U.S declares former Guinea-Bissau military chief wanted

He faces charges of narco-terrorism conspiracy

The United States has offered a 5-million-dollar reward for information leading to the arrest or conviction of former Guinea-Bissau military chief Antonio Indjai.

Mr Indjai led a coup in the West African country in 2012 before he was dismissed two years later in a democratic transition.

The US authorities indicted him in 2013 on accusations of plotting to traffic cocaine and sell weapons to Colombian rebels.

He faces charges of narco-terrorism conspiracy, conspiracy to import cocaine among others.
