ICC Prosecutor Calls for Ivory Coast War Crimes Probe 
------------------------------------------------------



More than 1,500 people are believed to have died in the violence so far
in the Ivory Coast. On Tuesday, the chief prosecutor of the
International Criminal Court, Luis Moreno-Ocampo, said he would seek an
investigation of Gbagbo for war crimes.

Luis Moreno-Ocampo: "So, what we are doing now is collecting information
in order to open an investigation there. We are concerned about the
recent information on massive atrocities committed in the western part
of Côte d'Ivoire. We're trying to define exactly what happened there.
And we're working."
