Ivory Coast's former president Laurent Gbagbo was under house arrest, Alassane Ouattara's government announced Tuesday, Xinhua reported.
Laurent Gbagbo and his wife were detained Monday at his residence in Abidjan, which ended the months-long political deadlock between Gbagbo and Alassane Ouattara, who is internationally recognized as the winner of the Nov. 28 presidential run-off last year.
