French Beheadings in Ivory Coast?

This will be the strangest hat-tip I ever give: War In Iraq: Slaughter of the Innocents.

Warning: The sources for these items should not be trusted on their face.

"Paris - Ivory Coast leader Laurent Gbagbo said on Saturday he believed reports were true that French troops had decapitated local demonstrators during anti-French riots in the West African state this month. "I wasn't in the hospitals myself but everyone who went there said so: you may take it that the evidence provided by several people is true," he responded online from Abidjan to a website discussion in Paris.
