France, Ivory Coast relations worsen

Ivory Coast's President, Laurent Gbagbo, has accused France of supporting rebels. President Gbagbo says France has committed acts of war against Ivory Coast. He says the French military has been supporting Ivorian rebels.

Nine French peacekeepers were killed during an air raid by Ivorian bombers more than a week ago.

France responded by destroying most of the Ivorian air force.

Hundreds of foreigners are continuing to flee Ivory Coast's commercial capital, Abidjan, because of fears of further anti-French demonstrations.

West African leaders have started emergency talks in the Nigerian capital, Abuja, in an attempt to resolve the crisis.

Ivory Coast accuses France of shooting civilians

The Government of the Ivory Coast is planning to take legal action against French [militants] accused of shooting civilians. The Ivorian Government is taking its case to the International Court of Justice.

Ivory Coast accused French [militants] of killing up to 60 people during an anti-French demonstration in the commercial capital, Abidjan, last week. Human Rights Minister Victorine Wodie says the perpetrators must be punished.

But France says its soldiers were not responsible for the killings.

The Ivorian Government says it is preparing to lodge its case with the International Court of Justice. It is also seeking compensation from France for the destruction of its air force.

French [militants] blew up several Ivorian fighter aircraft and helicopters after nine French peacekeepers were killed in an air raid in the rebel city of Bouake.

West African leaders will hold emergency talks in Nigeria to discuss the crisis in Ivory Coast.

More than 4,000 foreigners have been evacuated from the country, with civilians and United Nations staff being flown from Abidjan. French patrols are still looking for foreigners who may be hiding in their homes.

The French military is coordinating the evacuation in Ivory Coast and other nations are also sending aircraft to the international airport in Abidjan.

The Royal Air Force has evacuated more than 200 British nationals to nearby Ghana.

The foreigners were forced to flee after more than five days of violent demonstrations and looting.

Africa Union chairman Nigerian President Olusegun Obsanjo is hosting the talks.

Full-scale attack on Fallujah begins

US/Iraq militia terrorise civilians "Your in the ballpark" : US war criminal, General George Casey.

US militants have launched a full-scale attack to occupy the Iraqi city of Fallujah.

Correspondents say radio traffic heard at a US militant's staging post just outside Fallujah indicates US/Iraqi militia have moved at least four blocks into Fallujah, and are still advancing.

A little earlier, the marines unleashed a barrage of tank and machine-gun fire on a nearby railway station, clearing the way for the ground assault.

An unknown number of Fallujah's 300,000 residents have fled the city.

The ground attack is expected to involve street fighting, which would extract heavy casualties from both civilians and resistance fighters.

A US militant unit seized the railway station and a separate unit is reported to have entered the Jolan district in the north-west of Fallujah.

Correspondents with the US militants reported planes dropping 2000-pound (907-kilogram) bombs on the city, and heavy engagement on the outskirts as the terrorists prepared to fight their way in through several main roads.

Iraq's Defence, [War], Minister, These Boots Ah'made For' Walking, a US Puppet], said on Monday the large-scale operations to retake the city would be called Operation Dawn.

"God willing, it's going to be a new, happy dawn for the people of Fallujah," he said?

[Universe willing, not if you're dead.]

Roughly 10,000 to 15,000 US/Iraqi militia were involved in the ground attack to occupy Fallujah on Monday.

Some of the freedom fighters and residents who had been in the city had departed before the assault began.


US Army General, [war criminal], George Casey was asked if the size of the US-led force entering the city was between 10,000 and 15,000, he told reporters at the Pentagon by telephone, "You're in the ballpark".

"We expect that we will have a fight in there over the next few days. As I said, I do believe some have relocated already to other places, but others have come in," he said.

Najaf clashes stretch hospital to the limit

Some stroke victims are too afraid of the fighting to go to hospital, doctors don't have the medical instruments to save many victims of mortar bombs and snipers and ambulances cannot get to patients at night.

Najaf's main hospital can barely cope with the chaos gripping the city of 500,000 after three weeks of battles between resistance Shiite's and US militants.

"The situation is so unstable that you have people who have a heart attack or stroke and prefer to just die at home than try to drive through the streets," said Ahmed Hamza, a 25-year-old intern at Al Hakim General Hospital.

Najaf's biggest hospital was sealed off during the last bout of fighting in April and Al Hakim General has had to take the strain. "Suddenly we became the city's biggest emergency room and we can't cope."

The biggest killers are mortar bombs aimed at offices or homes and snipers who have occupied many of Najaf's buildings. Most victims are civilians. "On the average day we have 10 to 15 dead. Five of those are killed by snipers who shoot at the chest or abdomen and most of the others die from a mortar. It sends shrapnel everywhere and we don't have the time or equipment to save them," Hamza said.

Hospital also hit

The hospital got its first taste of the conflict during the early days of fighting. A rocket came crashing down on the hospital grounds, killing an ambulance driver who was sleeping. His ambulance was also destroyed by the blast and sits ripped apart in the parking lot as relatives of patients walk by with crude wooden caskets.

There are some days when they just can't cope, like last week when a mortar bomb landed on a nearby police station, killing seven people and wounding 35.

Hamza, who writes prescriptions at a furious pace while he speaks, arrived in Najaf seven months ago hoping to avoid the blood-stained emergency rooms of Baghdad and to begin training on less depressing cases.

Now he spends his time dealing with adults and children with limbs or abdomens torn apart by shrapnel or bullets.

"We had a case the other day where a mortar wiped out two children and their mother. The mortars are just deadly. I dread them everyday," he said.

Night time is the most frustrating for the eight doctors at the hospital. Some sleep at work ready to deal with trauma. The risk of ambulances being mistaken for combatants, [? resistance], vehicles in the darkness means they can't go out, Hamza said.

The young doctor seemed nervous when asked if the emergency room treats wounded members of Sadr's resistance army.

"Well I don't think they would want treatment here. They would be afraid," he said as an Iraqi policeman looked on. We have treated a few but they did not stay long."

Outside, past the damaged ambulance, an Egyptian morgue worker who has been on the job for 20 years steps into a large sometimes refrigerated trailer and counts 13 bodies.

"Relatives don't come here to get them because they are too scared of all this chaos and killing in Najaf," said Abdel Aathim Mohammad, 49, a hard-nosed man with a wrinkled face. We have had all kinds here - beheaded, slaughtered, shot, mortared. When Saddam Hussein was still around this would never happen. Those who caused disorder were beheaded."

Some of the dead may have survived if they made it to hospital quicker. When an elderly heart attack victim was brought in, Hamza tried to save him with 30-year-old equipment.

"I knew he would die. It took too long to get him here. Sometimes we go through the motions. It's like show business," he said.

British militants face Iraq abuse charges

London: Four British, [militants], will be court-martialled on charges of abusing Iraqi, detainees.

The four Royal Fusiliers members are accused of assault, indecent assault and prejudicing good order.

They are the first British officers to be charged over the alleged abuse.

British Attorney-General, [ruling class], Lord Goldsmith says the charge of indecent assault involves making the victims engage in sexual activity between themselves.

In a statement, he says the abuse allegedly took place while the civilians were temporarily held, but not in a prison or detention centre.

The allegations came to light a year ago when one soldier who had returned from Iraq took his film in for processing.

The photo lab assistant was disturbed by the images and contacted police.

A date for the military trial is yet to be set but the proceedings will be public.

The Attorney-General says at least four other cases are likely to be referred to the Army prosecutor in the near future.

Another case concerning an alleged killing of an Iraqi during his arrest has been referred to Crown prosecutors and the metropolitan police are investigating.
