France, Nov. 29 -- Gunmen on Saturday morning raided the headquarters of the African Party for the Independence of Guinea and Cape Verde (PAIGC), a former liberation movement and Guinea-Bissau's oldest political party, near the presidential palace where soldiers have set up camp since seizing power on 26 November.

Elsewhere in the capital Bissau, the offices of the opposition Social Renewal Party (PRS) were attacked, reportedly with tear gas.

The campaign headquarters of Fernando Dias, the independent candidate thought to have defeated incumbent Umaro Sissoco Embalo in last weekend's presidential election, were also targeted.

Soldiers remained stationed around PAIGC's offices on Saturday afternoon, RFI's correspondent reported.
