Salafists kill Christians in Church as the Christians were praying
Gunmen have opened fire on worshippers as their eyes were closed in prayer at a Nigerian church, killing six in the latest sectarian attack in Africa's most populous nation.
The attack on the outskirts of the northeastern city of Gombe comes after an ultimatum issued on Sunday by a purported spokesman for Islamist group Boko Haram
Boko Haram (Western learning is forbidden) is the nickname of a group that actually calls itself "People Committed to the Propagation of the Prophet's Teachings and Jihad"
for Christians to leave the country's mainly Muslim north within three days.
The big media in the US will probably title this, "Religious Violence again strikes Africa".
