"French military response was swift and decisive"
French forces in Ivory Coast have destroyed two government warplanes after an air strike which left eight French soldiers dead and 23 injured. The French struck the airbase in the capital, Yamoussoukro, soon after an air raid on the rebel-held town of Bouake hit the French peacekeepers. France said its forces had struck in a direct response to the bombing.Posted by: Classical_Liberal 2004-11-06 |
