location: Bangui - 3
notes: At least 49 dead (including a priest and 38 people who had been abducted), and dozens wounded when armed men entered the Church of Our Lady of Fatima as people were gathered inside for a religious ceremony. They opened fire and threw grenades. The grounds of this church housed 5,000 IDPs, many of whom have since fled. Ex-Seleka blamed for attack, but authorities admit they are not certain. Some claim that armed youth from Km5 are responsible for the attack.
