| Ivory Coast political leaders and rebel chiefs pressed on with talks near Paris on Thursday to end a four-month war as President Laurent Gbagbo's government accused rebels of breaking a truce with a fresh attack. Ivory Coast's Defense Minister Kadet Bertin said rebels attacked loyalist positions at the western town of Bloleqiun and had breached the terms of a truce agreed for a peace conference hosted by former colonial power France.

| #1 Former colonial power? Don't make me laugh! Oh, wait, it is funny. Damn, now they'll have to divert the Charles deGaulle to the region. What ever will we do in the Gulf without it? |
