Gbagbo to be put on trial
Ivory Coast strongman Laurent Gbagbo is "alive and well" after his detention yesterday and will now be put on trial, the country's UN envoy Youssoufou Bamba said.
"Mr Gbagbo was arrested, he is alive and well and he will be brought to justice for the crimes he has committed," the envoy said.
Forces loyal to internationally recognized president Alassane Ouattara detained Gbagbo at his bunker in Abidjan yesterday.
"It was carried out swiftly and professionally," Bamba said, insisting that only Ivory Coast forces were involved.
