| '150 bodies found in wells' after Nigerian massacre |
| 2010-01-23 |
| At least 150 bodies were recovered from wells following deadly Muslim-Christian clashes in central Nigeria in which the estimated death toll already stood at about 300. "So far we have picked 150 bodies from the wells. But 60 more people are still missing, said Umar Baza, head of Kuru Karama village near the city of Jos told AFP on telephone. "We took an inventory of the displaced people from this village, sheltering in three camps and we realise that 60 people can still not be accounted for," he added. |

| #8 Redneck Jim, maybe not. After Gettysburg Union soldiers were throwing dead Confederates down wells so they wouldn't have to bury them. When it was found out they did have to go back and take the bodies out. Understand, it was July, very hot and the Confederates were attended to last. Wells were convenient. |

| #6 Global rights watchdog Human Rights Watch (HRW) on Saturday urged Vice President Goodluck Jonathan to order "an immediate criminal investigation into credible reports of a massacre of at least 150 Muslim residents of a town in central Nigeria." No complaints by HRW if it had been the other way round. |

| #2 Christian bodies or Muslim bodies? I seem to remember the Quran forbids poisoning wells... of course, jihadis are known for how well they follow the details of the rules for killing unbelievers, beyond the general admonition to do so. |

| #1 The Red Indians used to put bodies of animals or people in dug wells to poison them. and drive the EEEVIL WHITIES out. Sounds like history is once again repeating itself. |
