"Thirty bodies have been brought to the mosque," said Awad Al Karim, the imam of the Ali Babolo mosque in a district called PK5 that became a haven for many Bangui Muslims at the peak of Christian-Muslim clashes in the country.
A security official, who asked to remain anonymous, also put the number of dead at at least 30, without providing any further details.
