ABIDJAN, Ivory Coast (AP) — Unidentified gunmen attacked a village in western Ivory Coast and set it ablaze early Saturday, killing three people and prolonging a spate of recent violence that has displaced thousands, a U.N. official said.

Sylvie van den Wildenberg, spokeswoman for the country’s U.N. peacekeeping mission, said the dead were two civilians, three assailants and one member of the dozos, a group of traditional hunters that have assumed an unofficial security role in the west.
