Forces seize Ivory Coast president's home in Abidjan
Forces trying to install Ouattara seized the presidential home in Abidjan as UN and French troops opened fire on Gbagbo targets. A senior diplomat said Gbagbo and ally advisers were sheltering in the bunker while Ouattara negotiates surrender. The operation escalates a crisis that has split Ivory Coast and driven hundreds to flee.
