 |  موضوع: Ramadan gathering attacked in Jos in purported revenge for Christmas Eve bomb attacks. 2011-08-30, 3:04 am | |
|  | | Jos lies in the so-called Middle Belt between the country's mostly Muslim north and the predominantly Christian south |
Gangs of armed youths in the Nigerian city of Jos attacked Muslims as
they gathered to celebrate the last day of Ramadan, killing a number of
them and burning their cars, witnesses and the military said."The Muslim faithful went for their Eid prayers and on completion of
the prayers they were trapped by the youths in that area," Brigadier
General Hmindan Umaru, commander of the military Special Task Force
keeping security in Jos, told Reuters news agency on Monday."They burnt some cars, quite a number a of cars. The number of people
killed, I can't give that yet. We are still checking with local
hospital sources," he said.The head of a search-and-rescue team for the Muslim community reported nine dead and 106 people wounded."Most of the wounds were from ... thrown missiles, machete cuts and
from arrows. Twenty parents have so far reported their underage children
missing," said Shitu Mohammed.Witnesses said Christian youths set up road blocks and attacked
Muslims as they gathered in Jos's Gada Biu and Rukuba areas, shooting a
number of them dead.Christians involved in the clashes spoke of revenge for a string of
bombs that exploded in Jos on Christmas Eve last year that left at least
80 people dead.Nigeria has a roughly equal Christian-Muslim mix.More than 200 ethnic groups live side by side in the West African
country. Though generally peaceful, Nigeria has seen periodic bouts of
religious violence, with Jos in particular showing a tendency to flare
up.The region lies in the so-called Middle Belt between the mainly
Muslim north and predominately Christian south of Africa's most populous
nation.If the violence worsens or triggers reprisals, it may prove another
major headache for President Goodluck Jonathan, whose security forces
are already stretched by daily attacks from an Islamist sect in the
northeast, which also claimed Friday's deadly bomb attack on the UN
offices in Abuja that killed 23. | |
