At least 20 killed in Central Africa clashes: police

At least 20 people have been killed and dozens injured in the latest clashes between armed groups in the Central African Republic, authorities said today.

An official who spoke to AFP on condition of anonymity said the violence broke out on Friday when anti-balaka militias, formed by the Christian majority, launched an attack against former rebels of the largely Muslim Seleka alliance in the central region of Bambari.
