Eleven held over assassination plot - Ivory Coast
Abijan - Ivory Coast security forces arrested 11 members of a leading opposition party in an alleged plot to assassinate top government figures, the government and the opposition party said Tuesday.

The roundup of followers of former Prime Minister Allasane Ouattara, a key opposition leader who fled into exile as civil war engulfed Ivory Coast in 2002, is the latest in weeks of arrests in alleged coup and assassination plots in the still-divided, still-turbulent West African hub.

Despite an officially declared end to the civil war in July, Ivory Coast remains split between rebel-held north and government south. Northern rebels are boycotting a power-sharing government that was part of the peace accord, accusing President Laurent Gbagbo of failing to stick to terms of the deal.
