Capt Camara had been in hospital in the Moroccan city of Rabat after being shot in the head by an aide in December.

The west African country has been under military rule since December 2008 when he seized power in a bloodless coup.

After a recent visit to Capt Camara, the interim leader Sekouba Konate said his life was not in danger.

Camara 'lucid'

An advisor to the president of Burkina Faso told the Associated Press that Capt Camara had travelled to the country "to finish his medical treatment".

An unnamed source in the office of Burkina Faso President, Blaise Compaore, told AFP news agency that Capt Camara, who has not been seen in public since the attempt on his life, was "lucid and speaking".

Western diplomats have been putting intense pressure on the country's military junta to restore power to civilian rule, some suggesting that Capt Camara should not return to Guinea because it would destabilize the country.

Burkina Faso has recently hosted talks aimed at helping resolve Guinea's crisis.

A renegade soldier, Lt Toumba Diakite, has said he shot Capt Camara after he was told to take the blame for a massacre in September.

Rights groups say more than 150 people were killed when the military opened fire on protesters in a stadium in Conakry on 28 September.
