科特迪瓦枪手打死10名亲巴博士兵

Officials in Ivory Coast say gunmen have killed 10 troops loyal to incumbent President Laurent Gbagbo. Authorities say gunmen attacked the troops Tuesday in the commercial capital, Abidjan. The attack took place in the Abobo neighborhood, where most residents back Mr. Gbagbo\'s rival for the presidency, Alassane Ouattara. Mr. Ouattara is the U.N.-certified winner of a presidential vote in November. Mr. Gbagbo has defied international calls to cede power to his rival. 
A team of four African heads of state met with the two presidents in Abidjan this week, in an effort to reach an end to the standoff. The African Union panel now has one week to decide how the impasse should end. The AU says the panel\'s decisions will be legally binding. But the AU has no way to enforce those decisions.

科特迪瓦官员说，枪手打死了10名效忠现任总统巴博的士兵。当局说，枪手星期二在商业首都阿比让对这些士兵发起袭击。袭击事件发生在阿博博社区。这里的大多数居民支持巴博的对手瓦塔拉出任总统。瓦塔拉是联合国认可的去年11月总统选举的获胜者。巴博一直抵制要求他把权力交给他的对手的国际呼声。

这个星期，由四位非洲国家元首组成的小组在阿比让分别会晤了这两位总统，力图结束这场对峙。这个非盟小组现在有一个星期的时间来决定这场僵局该如何结束。非盟说，这个小组的决定将具有法律约束力。但是非盟没有使这些决定得以实施的手段。
