Vigilante-extremist clash kills 25 in Nigeria
In attacks and reprisals between an Islamic militant group and vigilantes, at least 25 civilians were killed in northeast Nigeria, a vigilante group said Sunday.
It was the first attack with major fatalities reported since dozens of students were killed earlier this month in attacks blamed on Boko Haram, the militant group whose name means "Western education is forbidden." Nigeria's military has said the situation has been brought under control since thousands of troops were moved into the region after the government imposed a state of emergency on May 14. (AFP)
