From Times Wire Reports
At least 15 people were killed in the rebel stronghold of Bouake in a three-way gun battle as one group fought for loot from a bank robbery, another tried to protect the bank and civilians tried to join in the theft, a rebel spokesman said. Fighters loyal to rebel leaders restored order.
The violence spread further confusion in the nation, where a peace deal has shown signs of unraveling since rebels pulled out of a power-sharing coalition Tuesday.
