Nigerian militants kill school students
Suspected Islamic militants have killed 29 students in a pre-dawn
attack on a northeast Nigerian school, survivors say, setting ablaze a
locked dormitory and shooting and cutting the throats of those who
escaped through windows. Some were burned alive.
Soldiers guarding a checkpoint near the government school were mysteriously withdrawn hours before the attack, said the spokesman for the governor of Yobe state.
