Boko Haram kills 25 in Nigerian village

(ANSA) - Rome, May 22 - The Boko Haram militant Islamist group on Wednesday night killed more than 25 people in an attack on a village in northeastern Nigeria, a day after a double bombing killed 122 in the central city of Jos. Boko Haram is intensifying its insurgency to create an Islamic state in Nigeria. It sparked international indignation by abducting more than 200 school-age girls a week ago, not far from the village attacked late Wednesday.
