137 Killed in Niger Attacks After Constitutional Court Confirms Presidential Election
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

At least 137 people have been killed in Niger after gunmen on motorbikes
attacked villages near the border of Mali. It was the deadliest attack
in the West African nation in years. The coordinated raids occurred on
Sunday - on the same day Niger's Constitutional Court confirmed newly
elected President Mohamed Bazoum's victory.
