Gabon Rebel Chief Arrested, Two Killed After Failed Coup - President's Office
Earlier in the day, a group of military servicemen reportedly seized the state broadcasting station of Gabon to announce the creation of a so-called National Restoration Council.

According to the president's office, two military officers involved in the failed coup have been killed, and the rebel chief arrested.
A government spokesman earlier stated that four military servicemen who were involved in the attempted coup had been arrested by the country's security services, while one individual managed to escape.
Authorities have taken back control over the state broadcasting offices and a major highway in the capital, Libreville, which were the only areas taken over by the officers, according to the spokesman.
Early on 7 January, Gabonese rebel military officers seized the state broadcasting station stating they had been disappointed by the December 31 address of President Ali Bongo Ondimba and branded it "a deplorable performance of the fierce attempt to retain power".
The army of Gabon, in turn, reportedly did not support the rebellious officers and kept control over all strategic facilities, while the seized broadcasting station was encircled.
