U.N. Says Pro-Gbagbo Forces Attacking Its Vehicles 
---------------------------------------------------



The United Nations is accusing forces loyal to incumbent Ivory Coast
president Laurent Gbagbo of attacking its vehicles. On Thursday, the
U.N. officials said six vehicles were targeted, including an ambulance
whose driver and doctor were injured. Gbagbo has refused to step down
after a disputed November 29 election. Gbagbo's rival, Alassane
Ouattara, is widely believed to have won the vote. According to the
United Nations, more than 200 people have died and some 20,000 have fled
to neighboring Liberia as a result of post-election violence.
