Nigeria school massacre: 41 children killed, some burned alive

Published time: July 06, 2013 14:32

41 students and an English teacher have been killed in an Islamic extremist attack on a boarding school in northeast Nigeria. Some students were burned alive, according to survivors being treated for burn and gunshot wounds.

"We received 42 dead bodies of students and other staff of Government Secondary School [in] Mamudo last night. Some of them had gunshot wounds while many of them had burns and ruptured tissues," Haliru Aliyu of the Potiskum General Hospital told AFP. 

Militants arrived on the scene with vessels carrying large quantities of fuel, which they used to torch the building. Those who tried to flee the burning wreckage were shot, the survivors said.   

The attack on Government Secondary School in Mamudo town in the northeastern Yobe state is the latest in a series of militant attacks targeting children. 

Chaotic scenes were visible at the nearby hospital which was treating victims of the attack as distressed screaming parents attempted to identify their own children through charred bodies and victims of shootings, according to AP.    

A farmer named Malam Abdullahi located the bodies of two of his sons: a 10-year-old who had been shot in the back as he apparently attempted to escape, and a 12-year-old who had taken a bullet to the chest.

I didn't hear anything from the President Obama and the whitehouse on these killings. All I can think is that Obama has more inportant items to deal with. Like how to get his friends the "Muslim Brotherhood" back in power in Egypt. You know in Obama's mind and the minds of left-wing-Socialists friends you have to brake a few eggs to make a new World Order i.e kill a few innocent people and children. It's all for the good of the world.
