AP: More Than 5,000 Killed in Central African Republic 
-------------------------------------------------------


 
A new tally by the Associated Press finds more than 5,000 people have
died in Central African Republic since December, when fighting erupted
between Muslims and Christians. The clashes have sparked fears of
genocide. The tally is more than twice the number cited by the United
Nations in April when it approved a peacekeeping force due to arrive
next week. The AP said there has been no official record of the steady
rise in deaths since then.
