Ivory Coast using attacks as pretext for crackdown - opposition

ABIDJAN (Reuters) - Ivory Coast's main opposition party on Thursday accused the government of a campaign of repression against supporters of former president Laurent Gbagbo, using attacks on soldiers and police as a pretext.

Around 20 people, most of them soldiers, have been killed in the raids, which have revived the spectre of unrest in the world's top cocoa grower, still deeply divided a year after a brief civil war that claimed more than 3,000 lives.
