BANGUI, Central African Republic--Armed men kidnapped a female UN employee in the capital of the strife-torn Central African Republic on Tuesday, a day after two aid workers were seized, said a source with the UN force.

The gunmen, who appeared to be linked to the mainly Christian anti-balaka militia, seized the woman from a van taking UN staffers to work in Bangui, the source with the UN's Minusca force in the country said on condition of anonymity.
