                          Muslim Killed by Mob in CAR

   by VOA News

   A mob has attacked and killed a Muslim man who was part of a large
   convoy of Muslims who were trying to flee unrest in the capital of the
   Central African Republic.
   Witnesses say Christians took part in the attack in Bangui on Friday,
   which took place after the man fell off of a truck carrying Muslims out
   of the city. Witnesses say the attackers mutilated the man's body.
   The incident comes two days after a mob in Bangui killed a man
   suspected of being a Muslim rebel before dragging his body through a
   street. Witnesses said CAR soldiers took part in the attack.
   The incidents are more evidnece of the sectarian tensions between
   Christians and Muslims, following last year's ouster of President
   Francois Bozize.
   The Muslim Seleka rebel movement overthrew Bozize in March. Much of the
   violence in the CAR since then has been between ex-Seleka fighters and
   mostly Christian "anti-Balaka" militias.
   The frightened Muslims who who were fleeing Bangui on Friday were
   trying to make their way to neighboring Chad, a predominately Muslim
   country.
   Reuters news says French and African peacekeeping soldiers used tear
   gas to disperse the crowd that had gathered around the Muslim victim.
