Amnesty Int'l: Boko Haram Killed At Least 60 in Nigeria Attack Last Week
------------------------------------------------------------------------

Amnesty International said on Friday the group Boko Haram killed at
least 60 people last week in an attack on the northeastern border town
of Rann in Nigeria. Witnesses told Amnesty International Nigerian
military left the area the day before the attack, leading to an exodus
of residents who feared attacks by Boko Haram. The U.N. says that tens
of thousands of Nigerians fled to neighboring Cameroon in January. Boko
Haram attacked Rann earlier in January, killing 14 people.
