(AP) – Four French soldiers are being questioned Tuesday in an investigation into alleged child rape in Central African Republic, officials said. It appears to be the first time anyone has faced judicial questioning in the case — at least 19 months after the accusations first surfaced against French troops who were sent to protect Central African civilians displaced by sectarian violence. The disturbing case, long kept secret from the public, has raised questions about how international peacekeeping forces handle suspected abuses by their soldiers.
