Re: Ivory Coast shelling in Abidjan 'a war crime' - UN

[Guest guest]

During the Balkans War in the 1990's, not everything that went boom in Serajevo (sp) was Serb artillery. As hard as it sounds, sometimes to local militia would set off bombs in the marketplaces and kill and wound their own people in order to bring the press by and let them film the aftermath which they blamed on artillery. I saw a documentary about that where a reporter with combat experience noted the blast site was not a mortar but was more like a claymore mine while another documentary actually caught them talking about setting off their own bombs. Just saying this because it is possible that the opposition shelled this market to blame it on the president.
