Chad: Chad army says back in control of central town

Chad's government said on Wednesday its army had regained control of a major town which rebels said they had attacked and occupied the previous day. But the exact military situation at Mongo - 400 km (250 miles) east of the capital N'Djamena - and nearby Bitkine remained confused, with one rebel leader saying his fighters still "controlled the zones" around the towns. He said their objective was to push on to the capital.
