Post subject:  Pro-Gbagbo forces attack UN vehicles in Ivory Coast

coach outlet stores report,Six vehicles were

attacked, with to people injured, a spokesman said.

Mr Gbagbo has refused to admit defeat after the election in November, in which the UN recognised

his rival Alassane Ouattara as the winner.

Mr Ouattara and his government-in-waiting have been under siege by Mr Gbagbo's forces in an

Abidjan hotel.

UN Secretary General Ban Ki-moon has condemned the latest attacks.

"The secretary general is deeply concerned that regular and irregular forces loyal to Mr Gbagbo

have begun to attack and burn United Nations vehicles," UN spokesman Martin Nesirky said, adding

that those responsible would be held accountable.

The UN mission in Ivory Coast (Unoci) said it had "noticed over the last three days that

president Gbagbo's camp has transformed its hostility towards Unoci from verbal propaganda into

physical attacks".

The presidential vote was supposed to reunify the world's largest cocoa producer, which has been

divided between north and south since a conflict in 2002.

Last month Mr Gbagbo ordered all foreign peacekeepers to leave the country immediately - but the

UN has refused to recognise his authority to make such decisions.
