Yaound - Sixteen Cameroonians have been kidnapped in northeastern Cameroon in an alleged attack by armed militia from the Central African Republic (CAR), security sources said on Friday.
The attack took place on Thursday night in Gbabio village, near the border with the CAR, and is thought to have been led by rebel chief Abdoulaye Miskine.
"The kidnappers opened fire before driving off in a bus," a Cameroonian security source told AFP.
