Some 200 people, mostly civilians, have been killed by retreating militiamen and Liberian mercenaries loyal to ousted Ivory Coast leader Laurent Gbagbo, officials say.

The killings happened last week in coastal communities as the fighters headed for the Liberian border, the defence department said.

The claim has not been independently verified.

Mr Gbagbo was last week questioned over alleged human rights abuses.

ABIDJAN, Ivory Coast -- Ivory Coast strongman Laurent Gbagbo was detained by French special forces Monday at his presidential compound in the country's biggest city Abidjan, state-run radio France Info reports.

"Gbagbo has been arrested by French special forces in his residence and has been handed over to the rebel leaders," Gbagbo spokesman Toussaint Alain told Reuters.

His capture came after French and UN armored vehicles were deployed on a road close to Gbagbo's besieged Abidjan residence on Monday.

Ivory Coast leader Laurent Gbagbo, besieged in his presidential compound in Abidjan, is still negotiating his departure with the UN and could surrender "within hours", France says.

However the French armed forces chief said military strikes against Mr Gbagbo could resume if he refused to go.

Mr Gbagbo is encircled by troops loyal to the recognised winner of November's disputed election, Alassane Ouattara.

Mr Gbagbo has denied he is surrendering saying he is only negotiating a truce.

French Armed forces chief Adm Edouard Guillaud told Europe 1 radio that Mr Gbagbo had twice been on the point of stepping down - on 1 April and 4 April - before pulling back.

He said negotiations with the UN had continued through the night without result.

"Unfortunately I can't see a way out for the time being, I think it's a matter of hours... in the course of the day," he said.

"He is locked in the [presidential] residence and it remains in the possession of his supporters."

At least 800 people are reported to have been killed in the Ivory Coast city of Duekoue this week, as rival forces continue to battle for power.

International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC) staff visited Duekoue and said the scale and brutality of the killings were shocking.

The city was captured by fighters supporting UN-recognised president Alassane Ouattara this week.

His forces have ringed Laurent Gbagbo's troops in the main city, Abidjan.

Mr Ouattara was internationally recognised as president after winning a run-off vote in November, but Mr Gbagbo also claimed victory and refused to leave office.
