Leaders in two villages in central Nigeria say at least 10 people
have been killed in attacks between the Christians and Muslims living
there.
The killings began over the weekend between the Jukun people of
Plateau state, a Muslim ethnic group, and the Tarok people, who are
Christian.
A community leader for the Junkun, Jawka Baba, said late Monday the
Tarok burned down homes in his village and killed six people. Jongle
Lohbut, a Tarok community leader, said four people were killed by the
Jukun.
A military spokesman said he was aware of the fighting between the two groups.
The attacks center around the volatile city of Jos, where thousands
have been killed since 1999. Religion, politics, grazing rights and
economic power all play a role in the violence.
