Ivory Coast: Pro-Ouattara forces clash in Abidjan

Forces loyal to Ivory Coast's President Alassane Ouattara have exchanged fire in the main city of Abidjan.
The incident took place between the Invisible Commandos group, which controls areas of Abidjan, and troops brought from the north of the country.
The BBC's John James says the firing in the north of the city lasted less than 30 minutes but caused panic.
It the most public sign yet of splits in the coalition of forces that brought Mr Ouattara to power last week.
