Israeli Embassy Staff
Evacuated In Ivory Coast
JERUSALEM (JTA) — Israel evacu-
ated its embassy staff from the Ivory
Coast amid heavy fire between oppos-
ing sides in the west African nation's
civil war.
Acting Ambassador Daniel Saada
was injured during the April 8 evacu-
ation in Abidjan, the former capital of
and largest city in the Ivory Coast, by
a United Nations force.
The four staff members had
been holed up in the ambassador's
residence for several days due to the
ongoing civil war.
The evacuation involved jumping
onto an armored personnel car-
rier while it was in motion. Saada
required medical attention upon his
arrival in Akra, the capital of neigh-
boring Ghana.
