MAIDUGURI, NIGERIA - Muslim rebels expanded their attack on Nigerian security forces to three northern states with at least 80 people dead in two days of clashes, security sources said.
Gun battles between police and members of a local Islamic group, which wants a wider adoption of Islamic law across Nigeria, were reported in Yobe, Kano and Borno states. The attacks came a day after more than 50 people were killed in neighbouring Bauchi state. – (Reuters)
