Nigeria: Boko Haram Militants Slaughter Hundreds of Villagers 
--------------------------------------------------------------


 
In northeastern Nigeria, Boko Haram militants have slaughtered hundreds
of people in three villages in Borno state. The gunmen reportedly posed
as soldiers arriving to protect the villagers, before rounding them up
and opening fire. More than 2,000 people have been killed this year
alone by Boko Haram, which kidnapped more than 200 schoolgirls in April.
