Video of French APCs rolling through Abidjan as Ivory Coast still tense

Ivorians in Abidjan ventured out of their homes on Wednesday, some to collect water, as the city remained tense with the country's strongman Laurent Gbagbo holed up in a subterranean bunker and forces backing his rival Alassane Ouattara assaulting his residence to try to force him out. Some local residents cheered on the side of a road as French armoured personnel carriers drove by. United Nations attack helicopters helped by French troops bombarded the ruler's arsenal late Monday, acting on a Security Council resolution.
