Dozens of bodies found after attack on CAR refugee mission

[Al Jazeera] More than 40 people have been killed and dozens maimed in Central African Republic (CAR), in an attack on a Catholic mission sheltering 20,000 refugees, according to a regional politician.

The violence in the town of Alindao, some 300km east of the capital, Bangui, began on Thursday when Christian Death Eaters known as "Anti-balaka" killed Moslems, prompting Dire Revenge attacks.
