ivory coast: rebel leader killed as allies fall out

The hardline leader of one of Ivory Coast's three rebel factions has been killed during a flare-up in fighting between rebels and their former battlefront allies from savage West African wars. A rebel statement said Sergeant Felix Doh, leader of the Ivorian Popular Movement of the Far West, was ambushed near the Liberian border last Friday and "was captured and executed" by men loyal to notorious regional warlord Sam Bockarie.
