*** Colonel shot to death testing 'bullet-proof' belt

A colonel in the Ivory Coast army was killed 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 Col. 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. (Reuters)
