   Soldiers have surrounded the headquarters of the main opposition party in Sierra Leone, as votes are counted in the country's presidential election.

   The leader of the All People's Congress, Samura Kamara, said live ammunition was fired into the building as he held a news conference.

   He said it amounted to an assassination attempt.

   Clouds of tear gas shrouded the building.

   It's unclear why truckloads of troops were deployed.
