1,000 shops and homes burned In Nigeria..

Nigeria religious riot bodies found in village wells

More victims of deadly religious clashes in central Nigeria have been found, with scores of bodies stuffed in wells and sewage pits.
Up to 150 bodies have been found in Kuru Karama village, 30km (18 miles) from the city of Jos, where the violence erupted last Sunday.
Correspondents say elders hid in holes for seven hours to escape the violence.
An exact death toll is not known but overall 300 or more are thought to have died in the Muslim-Christian clashes.
Muslim officials in Jos who spoke to the campaign group Human Rights Watch said 364 Muslims had been killed.
Several thousand people fled their homes.



'Burned alive'

The BBC's Caroline Duffield in Jos says the town and the area to the south of it are under tight military control but more details of the violence there are starting to emerge.
She says many of the bodies found in Kuru Karama had massive burns, other victims were hacked to death or shot.

She says there are still more bodies scattered in the bush beyond the village but the areas are not safe for volunteer workers to enter.
