Seven UN Peacekeepers Killed in Côte d'Ivoire
The bodies of seven United Nations peacekeepers arriving at the airport in Abidjan as they make their way home.
Hailing from Niger, the peacekeepers were serving with the United Nations Operation in Côte d'Ivoire (UNOCI), and on patrol in the proximity of Para village, near the border town of Tai in the country's south-west on Friday, when they were attacked by a group of unidentified armed elements. Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon called for the perpetrators to be identified and held responsible for the deadly violence.
