| Reuters: Christians massacre hundreds of Muslims |
| 2004-05-04 |
| Well, that's certainly unusual... YELWA, Nigeria Hundreds of Muslims were killed by Christian militiamen in the latest outbreak of ethnic fighting, a senior police officer said Tuesday. Mutilated and charred bodies still remained in the main street of Yelwa, a remote market town in central Nigeria. The police had previously reported 67 bodies recovered from the massacre, which occurred on Sunday and Monday. Thousands of Muslims lined the roadside chanting religious slogans and vowing revenge, a witness said. The conflict is rooted in competing claims between the Christian Taroks and Muslim Fulanis over the fertile farmland of central Nigeria, Africa’s most populous nation. |

| #12 The fun thing about massacring is that it's a game two sides can play. |

| #10 Has anybody ever read an Al-Reuters' Headline saying Muslims Massacre Hundreds of Christians? When it is muslims doing the massacring, Al-Reuters always describes it as ethnic/religious fighting. Hypocrites! |
