The president of The Gambia says he remains in charge of the West African state after his security forces thwarted an attempted coup. Yahya Jammeh said an ex-army commander tried to take control of the country while he was visiting France. His current whereabouts are unclear. Heavy gunfire had earlier erupted near the presidential palace in the capital. Mr Jammeh seized power in a coup in 1994 and his critics accuse him of ruling with an iron-hand.
