Heavily armed men on Tuesday afternoon surrounded government
buildings in the capital Bissau where Embalo and his prime minister
were believed to be attending a cabinet meeting.
Embalo, 49, later told reporters that he had been unharmed during a five-
hour gun battle, which he described as a plot to wipe out the
government.
The small West African state has suffered four military coups since
independence from Portugal in 1974.
