Forces attack Gbagbo residence, says Ouattara camp

ABIDJAN - Forces loyal to Alassane

Ouattara attacked the residence of incumbent Laurent Gbagbo in

the early hours of Friday morning, a spokesman for Ouattara's

government said.

"His house is under attack. That's for sure. There is a

resistance, but it's under attack," spokesman Patrick Achi told

Reuters.

Reports of the attack on Gbagbo's residence follow hours

fighting between the two factions and statements by Ouattara's

camp that they seized the nearby headquarters of state

broadcaster RTI, which went off air late on Thursday evening.

There was no immediate reaction from Gbabgo's camp.
