    Nick Birnback, spokesman for the U.N. Department of Peacekeeping Operations, said Monday the helicopter fired on Gbagbo’s troops at about 5 p.m. local time to prevent them from using heavy weapons at the Akouedo camp in Abidjan.

    According to AfricaNews reporter Selay Marius Kouassis, the bombardment traumatized a lot of locals quoting a lady who claimed the rocket filed through the roof of a house killing three people.

    He said the death toll could be higher. This video taken by a resident around the vicinity reveals the intensity of the attack.

    Peace is a fragile thing. But human lives are even more fragile. Its a shame to hear that this even had to take place. When will man stop striving to have power and money at the expense of other's lives? credit card machine

    It seems that whenever military force is used, there are always innocent victims caused by both sides. Will there ever be a world free of war and violence. I think there will be. Just not from man's governments. virtual terminal
