BANGUI (Reuters) - Chadian peacekeepers shot dead three civilians in a Christian neighbourhood of the capital of Central African Republic on Monday, residents said.

Bangui's Christian population accuse the Muslim Chadians of backing Muslim Seleka rebels - some of whom came from Chad - since they seized power in the mostly Christian Central African Republic and embarked on months of looting and killing.
