Muslim Seleka militants attacked a Catholic church in Bangui yesterday where people were sheltering from violence; the assailants threw grenades and shot at women and children, killing at least 11 people. A priest at the church said AU peacekeepers failed to respond to urgent calls during the attack. Today Christian anti-balaka militias retaliated by sacking an empty mosque and barricading streets with burning tires. Seleka controls much of northern CAR, and is said to be creating a parallel army and police force in the region.
