Death Toll From Central African Church Attack Reaches 26

BANGUI (Reuters) - Ten more people have died from wounds sustained during Tuesday's attack on a church in Central African Republic, the Red Cross said on Thursday, bringing the toll to 26.

Unidentified armed assailants attacked the Notre Dame de Fatima church in the capital Bangui with grenades and guns during morning mass, initially killing at least 15 and critically wounding scores of others.

The number of dead is expected to rise further, said Antoine Mbao Bogo, president of the Central African Republican Red Cross.

The story reads the Church is on the edge of a Muslim neighborhood which begs the question, why would they have services there, for as much trouble as people know, the Islamists cause. I don't know if they are in a great number in CAR, Central African Republic.

Maybe Christianity is as much as 80% of the population, thank goodness. It's pretty far down South on the continent.
