The president's office has declared a week of national mourning after what it called a "tragic drama" at a concert by the Guinean rap group Instinct Killers. Dozens of people were injured, said police sources quoted by AFP. The concert took place on Tuesday evening on a beach in Ratoma, a northern suburb of Conakry. The authorities were "shocked by the tragic drama caused by mass movements at a cultural event," said a statement from the president's office. Hospital sources said there were 13 girls among the dead. Source: BBC Online [/quote]   Check here to include your profile signature.
