Dozens suffocate in sealed container -Ivory Coast

At least 60 people were left to die of suffocation in a crammed transport container after June clashes between rebels in northern Ivory Coast, according to witnesses quoted in a draft report by United Nations human rights experts.

The preliminary report detailed the findings of a UN team which last month discovered three mass graves containing the bodies of at least 99 people - some of whom had been beheaded - in the rebel-held town of Korhogo.

The victims were killed during or in the wake of two days of fighting between rival rebel factions on June 20-21. Scores of people were arrested after fighters loyal to the rebels' political leader, Guillaume Soro, prevailed.

If the US allowed this to happen in Afghanistan then so what any place else!
