Ousmane Moussa, 54, brought his family to PK12, a Muslim neighborhood, because he thought they would be safe there. But the Muslims packed into less than one-square mile around a mosque were surrounded by hostile Christians who fired guns and threw grenades at them. Two of Moussa's cousins were shot in the legs outside the mosque, where they slept. Moussa wanted to leave, but said he was trapped. His 27-year-old son, Adan, tried to drive to the southern city of Bambari, where he had heard that Christians and Muslims weren't fighting. But attackers fired at the car and killed him. Moussa was hoping the peacekeepers would evacuate him. He'd go anywhere, he said. Anywhere but here.
