Russian journalists in C. Africa 'killed by nine-man group': govt

Three Russian journalists killed in the Central African Republic, and reported to be probing a private Russian army there, were shot dead at a roadblock by a nine-man group, the government said Wednesday. In a statement on national television, government spokesman Ange Maxime Kazagui said the nine "wore headscarves" and did not speak in French or Sango, two languages that are nationally used in the CAR. One of the journalists violently opposed the armed men, who wanted to steal their equipment, Kazagui said.
