Central African Republic Halts Rebel Column: Source -- Reuters
(Reuters) - A Central African Republic attack helicopter opened fire on rebels advancing on the capital on Friday, breaking up their column, a senior regional peacekeeping source said, days after a peace deal broke down in the mineral-rich nation.
The source from a neighboring Central African power, who asked not to be named, said the helicopter strike had halted the Seleka insurgents - although no one from the rebels was available to comment and Central African Republic officials said fighting was continuing on the road to Bangui.
France's Foreign Ministry said the rebels had advanced to within "a few kilometers" of the capital of its former colony and it advised French citizens there to restrict their movements.
