France probes child abuse claims against its troops
The alleged abuse took place between December 2013 and June 2014 at a centre for displaced people at M’Poko airport in the capital Bangui, and concerned about 10 children, France’s defence ministry said.
“A preliminary investigation by the Paris prosecutor has been open since July 31, 2014,” a justice ministry spokesman said. “The investigation is ongoing.” A Defence Ministry source said no suspects had yet been identified.
