Fighting Kills 10; French Wounded

Fresh clashes in the capital, Bangui, between African peacekeepers and disaffected soldiers killed at least 10 civilians and wounded dozens, including French nationals hurt when a stray mortar shell hit their embassy compound, witnesses said. The deaths brought to at least 14 the number of people killed in two days of fighting. The African force, deployed under a Jan. 25 peace deal, has been touted as a model for a force to restore peace to Brazzaville, capital of the neighboring Republic of Congo, where similar ethnic and political clashes broke out June 5.
