Several Dead In Gun Battles In CAR Capital -- Al Jazeera
Blasts of heavy and small arms gunfire rock parts of Bangui in the worst clash since Seleka rebels took over the city.
At least seven people have died in Bangui, the capital of the Central African Republic (CAR), in the heaviest clashes in the city in months, the French charity Doctors Without Borders said.
The death toll was given by the charity in a brief message saying "community hospital: 65 wounded, eight dead". Doctors Without Borders have sent a medical and surgical team to the hospital after heavy weapons fire and automatic gunfire in the city.
The blasts of heavy and small arms gunfire were heard on Thursday, hours before France said that it would deploy 1,200 troops to restore order in the CAR, which has been in sectarian violence between Muslims and Christians.
