Chad accuses Central African Republic troops of war crime

DAKAR (Reuters) - Chad's defence ministry on Sunday said troops of neighbouring Central African Republic (CAR) had attacked a Chadian military post, killed one soldier, and kidnapped and executed five others - actions it said amounted to a war crime.

The heavily armed assailants struck in the early hours of Sunday, attacking a post manned by 12 Chadian soldiers near Chad's 1,000-km border with CAR, the ministry said in a statement.
