Nigeria: Hundreds of Boko Haram Victims Found Dead 
---------------------------------------------------


 
In Nigeria, hundreds of bodies have been found in the northeastern town
of Damasak, after an apparent massacre by the militant group Boko Haram.
Local sources told Agence France-Presse the death toll exceeds 400, with
bodies found in homes, streets and a dried-up river. Troops from Chad
and Niger retook the town from Boko Haram last month, discovering
another mass grave containing about 100 bodies.
