Colonel killed testing ``bullet-proof'' belt
ABIDJAN, Ivory Coast (Reuters) - A colonel in the Ivory Coast army was
fatally wounded
by gunfire as he tested a ``magic'' belt supposedly with powers to protect
him from bullets, the
official Ivorian daily Fraternite-Matin reported Wednesday.
It said Colonel Pascal Gbah, 49, died on the spot Monday night near the
western town of
Aboisso after being hit by a bullet fired from his own service pistol by a
20-year-old son of the
magic belt's maker.
The newspaper quoted Ghah's cousin Andre Gondo who made the belt as
insisting that its
protective powers were real, provided one abstained from sex while wearing
it.
Gbah, who was an electronics engineer in the army, is survived by a wife
and six children.
An army spokesman said Gondo had been arrested but that his son was on the
run.
