                          NIGERIA UNREST -- CORRECTION

   Suspected Boko Haram gunmen killed at least 40 students during an early
   morning attack on a dormitory at a post-secondary school in
   northeastern Nigeria.
   Army spokesman Captain Eli Lazarus told VOA News that gunmen stormed
   the Yobe State College of Agriculture in Yobe State early Sunday firing
   on students as they slept.
   At least 18 students are being treated for injuries at a hospital in
   the state capital of Damataru. The college is located in Gubja, a rural
   area some 50 kilometers away.
   Yobe state has seen a a series of brutal attacks by suspected Boko
   Haram militants in recent months. In July, militants attacked school
   dormitories in Yobe state killing 29 students and a teacher.
   Boko Haram, which translates roughly as "Western education is sinful",
   has been blamed for hundreds of deaths this year alone from attacks on
   government buildings, markets, schools, media houses and churches.
