| 2013-05-19 |
| [Naharnet] Armed men raided several houses in a town in the northeastern Central African Republic, leaving six people dead, a military official told Agence La Belle France Presse Saturday. "The assailants arrived in several cars and fired shots as they entered the town, so residents fled," said the official of the attack in Bouca, 250 kilometers (155 miles) north of the capital Bangui, on Friday. "Then they headed to the houses and began looting. Six bodies were found after the attack." There were also several maimed. The attack in Bouca, which had been taken over by Seleka rebels in February. was not immediately confirmed by other official sources. The rebels seized power in a coup in March ousting president Francois Bozize. The security situation in the already unstable nation remains volatile, with pillaging and sporadic attacks still not brought under control. |
