OUAGADOUGOU (Reuters) - Guinea's ex-military leader told magistrates he feels moral responsibility for a massacre carried out by soldiers during his regime but does not share criminal responsibility for ordering it, his lawyer said.

Moussa Dadis Camara was questioned by Guinean judges for several hours on Monday regarding the massacre in 2009, in which at least 157 people were killed. The judges travelled to Burkina Faso's capital, Ouagadougou, where Camara has lived since fleeing Guinea after an assassination attempt in late 2009.
