Archer link to African coup plot

London: New evidence has emerged linking the author and British Conservative peer Jeffrey Archer to the alleged conspirators behind the attempted coup in Equatorial Guinea. A lawyer for the Equatorial Guinea Government said in London telephone records showed four calls between the homes of one of the alleged financiers behind the plot, London-based Lebanese businessman Ely Calil, and Lord Archer in the run-up to the coup attempt in March. Another alleged plotter, businessman Greg Wales, also made five calls to Sir Mark Thatcher in the days after the failed coup. Solicitor Henry Page said: ``The calls ... provide substantial links between the conspirators around the time of the coup attempt.''
