Five dead in Abidjan clashes

At least five people were killed in clashes between supporters of Ivory Coast's presidential claimant Alassane Ouattara and forces loyal to incumbent Laurent Gbagbo in Abidjan on Tuesday. The West African nation, the world's top cocoa producer, has been in turmoil since a disputed presidential election in November that both men claim to have won.
Witnesses said clashes broke out early on Tuesday and continued for hours. Protests in Ivory Coast, whether pro-Gbagbo or by his enemies, are sometimes infiltrated by gunmen. One witness said he saw seven bodies after the clashes.
