Bangui, Central African Republic: International peacekeepers went door-to-door in the Central African Republic capital Bangui Saturday seizing weapons from militia accused of committing atrocities against the country's Muslim minority.
The unprecedented operation by some 250 peacekeepers and police in Bangui's Boy Rabe neighbourhood, the base of the mostly Christian militias whose attacks have driven many Muslims from the city in recent weeks, lasted about four hours.
