UN, French fire on Ivory Coast Gbagbo’s residence




Posted on April 10, 2011 by Conservative Byte









United Nations and French helicopters have fired rockets on the residence of Ivorian strongman Laurent Gbagbo, who is holed up in a bunker, residents said Sunday.



Two residents from nearby neighborhoods reported seeing two Mi-24 attack helicopters and one French helicopter open fire on the residence. One resident reported seeing smoke rise from the compound. The residents couldn’t be named for fear of reprisal.



An Associated Press reporter saw the same three helicopters take off from the French military base minutes before the reporter heard explosions coming from the direction of the residence.



Gbagbo’s adviser in France Toussaint Alain confirmed the attack.
