BANGUI (Reuters) - Rebels armed with guns and knives killed 34 people in Central African Republic, hanging some civilians and slitting others' throats in a series of attacks this week, officials said.

Fighters from the Seleka insurgent group, sometimes backed by herdsmen, raided small central settlements, said authorities, more than a year after a coup plunged the impoverished country into sectarian violence.
