500 Escape Prison & 42 Killed in Fighting in Central African Republic 
----------------------------------------------------------------------


 
Officials in the Central African Republic say at least 500 people have
escaped from prison. This comes amid fighting that has killed at least
42 people in the capital of Bangui. The fighting began after a Muslim
man was killed and his body left near a mosque. Pope Francis is slated
to visit the Central African Republic in late November as part of his
upcoming trip to Africa.
