BANGUI (Reuters) - At least 30 people were injured, 10 of them seriously, in fighting between local militia and international peacekeepers in the capital of Central African Republic on Wednesday, medical charity Medecins Sans Frontiers said.

The clashes erupted after residents of the PK-5 neighbourhood - home to some 2,000 Muslims who have braved sectarian violence to remain in Bangui - accused the European Union force (EUFOR) of shooting dead a man late on Tuesday.
