RNA - An angry crowd killed a Muslim man in the capital of Central African Republic overnight, decapitating and burning his corpse, witnesses said Wednesday. The incident brings to seven the number killed in the latest inter-communal attacks that began on Sept. 29 despite the presence of U.N. peacekeepers.

According to NBC News, the Muslim man was chased by Christian 'anti-balaka' militiamen in the northern suburb of Gobongo because he was suspected of having thrown a grenade from a bus into a market, injuring several, the witnesses said.

Red Cross officials returned the corpse to a Muslim neighborhood for burial.
