Boko Haram Attacks Nigerian Churchgoers
Sunday morning, many gathered at a church in Northeastern Nigeria to worship. This was cut short when members of Boko Haram (an islamic terrorist group), put the church on lockdown. Civilians were shot at, and locked in the church while militants set off bombs and cut throats. The same day, other members of the terrorist organization attacked Kawuri village. Nigeria has been in a state if emergency since May, and in that time, over 1,200 deaths have been attributed to Boko Haram.
