Boko Haram burns children alive in new Nigeria attack

Children burnt to death, families shot down - Boko Haram's latest horrifying act on a Nigerian village killed 86 people. The Islamic militants attacked Dalori vilage and two nearby camps housing 25,000 refugees on late Saturday night. Local survivors worked alongside Nigerian soldiers to collect charred and bullet-riddled corpses from the village, which is just a few miles from Maiduguri, the birthplace of the extremist group.

Nigeria's 6-year Islamic uprising has killed about 20,000 people and driven 2.5 million from their homes.
