Liberia, Ivory Coast Disagree Over Deadly Ambush on UN
Liberia has called a deadly ambush Friday on a village across the border in Cote d'Ivoire an "act of terrorism" and has ordered the immediate closure of the border. But the Liberian government has said it cannot confirm whether the attackers came from within its territory, while the Ivorian government firmly asserts they did.
The ambush killed seven UN peackeepers, eight civilians, and a soldier.
The United Nations Mission in Liberia (UNMIL) that has a 8,000-man peacekeeping force in the small West African nation, also condemned the attack. The ambush has been the most recent in a series of attacks on Ivorian villages since last year’s post election crisis that officially ended with the April 10, 2011 capture of former Ivorian President Laurent Gbagbo.
