ZIGUINCHOR, Senegal (AFP) - Former Guinea-Bissau armed forces chief Jose Zamora Induta has fled his country for Senegal but has not been arrested there and is now heading for Gambia, a local offical said Saturday.

Earlier, a security source in the Casamance region of Senegal which borders Guinea-Bissau said Induta, who left his country in the wake of last month's coup, had been arrested with another three people overnight Thursday.
