| [Al Ahram] Gunmen armed with rocket-propelled grenades attacked a cop shoppe and a bank in northern Nigeria, killing three coppers and two civilians, authorities said on Monday, in a region struggling to control an Islamist insurgency. The gunnies struck the town of Ringim late on Thursday night, said Abdul Jinjiri, police front man for Jigawa state, where the town is located. "After attacking a cop shoppe and killing three of our men, they then moved to nearby Unity Bank and killed two civilians there," Jinjiri said. "They were not able to steal any money from the bank." The Ringim attack came a day before 25 people were killed in a separate clash between Nigerian security forces and suspected Islamists who robbed a bank and attacked a cop shoppe in northeastern Yobe state. |
