ABIDJAN (Reuters) - Four people were killed in an attack on a village in western Ivory Coast not far from the scene of an ambush in which seven U.N. peacekeepers died last week, local residents and the United Nations said on Tuesday.
Gunmen entered Sieblo-Ouala on Monday night and kept up their raid into Tuesday morning, attacking residents with guns and machetes. The village, near the border with Liberia, is located 12 km (7.5 miles) from the site of Friday's attack, which killed 18, including the U.N. soldiers from Niger.
