             Ivory Coast Militia Leader Arrested for 2011 Massacre

   Soldiers in Ivory Coast have arrested a militia leader who was
   allegedly involved in a 2011 massacre of political opponents.
   Military officials say Amade Oueremi gave himself up Saturday as
   soldiers began to converge near his hideout.
   Oueremi and his fighters backed President Alassane Ouattara in the
   violence that broke out after the 2010 election when former president
   Laurent Gbagbo refused to step down.
   Human rights groups say Oueremi took part in a massacre of Gbagbo
   supporters in the town of Duekoue in March 2011.
   The post-election violence killed about 3,000 people. Mr. Gbagbo is in
   custody facing trial before the International Criminal Court.
