7 Peacekeepers Killed In Ivory Coast -- CNN(CNN) -- Seven peacekeepers from Niger were killed Friday in an ambush in southwestern Ivory Coast, and more may be in danger, U.N. Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon said.
"These brave soldiers have died in the service of peace," he said. "I condemn this attack in the strongest possible terms."

The incident occurred near Para Village, a spokesperson for Ban said in a statement.
