BANGUI (Reuters) - At least 12 civilians were killed and 30 wounded, including children, in an attack northwest of the Central African Republic capital Bangui, the U.N. mission there said on Tuesday.

The U.N. Security Council is to vote on Thursday on dispatching French reinforcements to restore order in a country that has slipped into chaos since mainly Muslim rebels seized power, leading to tit-for-tat sectarian violence.
