Attackers, whose identities are yet to be determined, have killed eight people in northeastern Nigeria.


Lieutenant Colonel Sagir Musa, a military spokesman in the area, confirmed that the attack occurred in the village of Gajiganna in the Borno state on Sunday, AFP reported on Monday.

However, the spokesman sufficed to saying that "lives were lost."

A local official, who did not want to be named, said that "It is still not clear who carried out the attack because the attackers moved silently into these homes."

While there were reports that certain victims were shot dead and others had their throats slit, some said that the attackers cut all the eight victims’ throats.

"They were silent attacks and nobody knew what was happening until the morning when news began to filter from different neighborhoods," one of the residents said.

Musa said in a text message that the death toll "is yet to be ascertained." http://www.presstv.ir/detail/2013/01/29/286119/attackers-kill-8-in-ne-nigeria/
