Nigeria Market Bombing Kills At Least 56 -- The Telegraph
Cattle thieves raided a market in northern Nigeria, killing at least 56 people and burning down a market in an area beset by terror attacks from al-Qaeda-linked militants.
Gunmen firing into crowds of herders stormed the cattle sale in Potiskum in Yobe state, but were pushed back and forced to flee, witnesses said.
Three people were killed and one of the suspected thieves was burned alive by the cattle herders in retaliation.
The men then returned later in the evening, setting fire to the market and buildings that surround it, and then firing indiscriminately as people fled their burning homes, killing dozens more.
