A group of more than 20 men attacked the embassy Thursday afternoon, setting fire to an office and damaging furniture. The Gabonese government on Thursday declared the eldest son of the late dictator Omar Bongo the winner of weekend presidential elections, enraging opposition supporters who torched a French diplomatic mission in Gabon as a main opposition candidate went into hiding, nursing an injury he reportedly suffered when police fired tear gas canisters.(AP Photo/Rebecca Blackwell)
