President Yahya Jammeh of Gambia 'returns home after coup plot'


The Gambia's President Yahya Jammeh has returned to the country after a reported coup attempt, sources say.
Heavy gunfire was heard near the presidential palace in Banjul on Tuesday but officials say the military takeover was thwarted.
Details remain sketchy - as everything had now returned to normal.
Mr Jammeh seized power in the tiny West African nation in 1994, and is accused of not tolerating any opposition.
