PRAGUE, Czech Republic, Sept. 3 (UPI) -- Central African Republic soldiers have detained 10 Slovak nationals allegedly caught while loading two cases with weapons and ammunition.
The men were originally thought to be Czech nationals, Pravo reported Friday. The Czech Embassy in Democratic Republic of Congo sought to verify their identities but was unable to do so.
The soldiers reportedly arrested the men in Nola, a town in southwestern Central Africa. Two men eluded capture. The rest were transferred to the capital Bangui and are being kept in detention.
The identity of the arrested Slovaks remains unclear.
