Nigeria: At least 80 dead in clashes between armed christians and muslim gangs
At least 80 people are said to have died in Nigeria’s Christmas bomb attacks and subsequent clashes between armed Christian and Muslim gangs.
A government agency says its figure, more than double that published by police, is based on the number of bodies recovered.
The violence happened in and around the city of Jos, which lies in Nigeria’s volatile “Middle Belt” between Nigeria’s mainly Muslim north and Christian south.
