However, the FRCI responded by calling in air support from UNOCI and Opération Licorne, which launched helicopter attacks on the heavy weaponry in the presidential compound, effectively destroying it. The following morning, April 11th, FRCI forces stormed the compound, capturing Mr Gbagbo, his wife, family and closest aides. Mr Gbagbo was transferred to an undisclosed location in the interior of the country, believed to be in the vicinity of Korhogo. Although French troops and tanks supported the operation to capture Mr Gbagbo, the French government insisted that French forces did not enter the presidential compound or take part in Mr Gbagbo's capture. Around 120 people in Mr Gbagbo's retinue were detained in the operation, although around half were released over the following week. Mr Gbagbo's infamous "street general", Charles Blé Goudé, appears to have evaded capture, despite initial claims that he had been arrested by rebel forces. Aside from at least a dozen soldiers killed in the operation, the one high-profile fatality was the former interior minister, Désiré Tagro, who died the following day from gunshot wounds. Conflicting accounts of his death circulated, one that he was shot by pro-Ouattara forces as he emerged from the bunker waving a white handkerchief, another that he took his own life rather than fall into rebel hands.
