100 Bodies Found in Ivory Coast in 24 Hours

Ethnically Motivated Murders?
Confusing to say the least, seeing as how they are all from the same area in the same country!

United Nations officials say investigators have found more than 100 bodies in western Ivory Coast in the past 24 hours.

A spokesman for the U.N. human rights agency said bodies were found in more than one location and most of the deaths seemed to be "ethnically motivated."

On Thursday, Ivory Coast's internationally recognized President Alassane Ouattara asked all Ivorians to refrain from acts of violence.

In a televised speech, Ouattara said his forces have set up a blockade around the presidential compound in Abidjan, where his rival Laurent Gbagbo is barricaded.
