Fighting in Nigeria Leaves 187 Dead, 77 Injured

Fighting between Nigerian troops and militants with Boko Haram left one hundred and eighty-seven dead, in Baga, over the weekend.

Another seventy-seven were hospitalized from their wounds.

Hundreds more are missing, though most are thought to have simply fled from the fighting.

Over three hundred homes, in the area, were burnt down by the Islamist terrorist group.

Some reports stated that the militants used RPGs, in their attack, a sign that they are getting increased help from the international Al Qaeda network.
