Twenty-one die in religious rioting in Nigeria
Religious rioting in the Nigeria city of Jos has killed at least 21 people in recent days, as authorities seem to be unable to curb rising violence.
An Associated Press journalist counted 21 bodies awaiting burial at the city’s central mosque on Friday. At the Jos University Teaching Hospital, doctors collected at least 12 bodies bearing gunshot and machete wounds, while another 82 were wounded in fighting in the city, said Stephen Yohanna, the hospital’s chief medical director.
