'UN helicopters fire on Gbagbo army camp'

ABIDJAN - United Nations helicopters

fired four missiles at a pro-Gbagbo military camp in Ivory

Coast's main city of Abidjan on Monday, witnesses said.

"We saw two UNOCI (U.N. mission in Ivory Coast) MI-24

helicopters fire missiles on the Akouedo military camp. There

was a massive explosion and we can still see the smoke," one of

the witnesses said.

The camp is home to three battalions of the Ivorian army.

Calls to the UN forces commander in Ivory Coast went

unanswered.
