150 KILLED IN NIGERIAN CLASHES

MORE than 150 people were killed in the clashes that erupted between Muslims and Christians in the northern Nigerian city of Kaduna at the start of this week. The toll has risen past 150 with dozens of bodies observed in hospital morgues and on the streets in the two main riot-affected areas in the south of the city, reports in various Nigerian newspapers said on Wednesday. Authorities have imposed a dusk-to-dawn curfew and heavily armed troops patrol the city after two days of clashes in the city where more than 1000 people were killed in riots in late February.
