Heavily armed Muslim fighters attacked a Catholic Church compound in the Central African Republic where thousands of civilians had taken refuge, killing at least 17 people and leaving many others seriously injured.

Church officials say the attack occurred at midafternoon on Monday when rebel fighters and armed Muslim civilians from the town accused church leaders of aiding Christian militias operating in the area.

Last week, a grenade attack on a mosque wounded 34 people, including seven French soldiers.
