Seven killed in fresh attack in Jos (Page 10)

When does this cruel stop? I will never understand the way of those "islamic" extremists, who r able to slaughter other human beeings. They r not even true muslims cause nowhere in the koran is written, to do such terror. Real muslims usually live their religion in peace. What do they gain from it?  Leave us christians in peace. When do they get it, that one can´t force a religion on other ppl. Faith comes from the deep free mind and heart of somebody. Killing will not change it. For every killed christian another soul will raise up.

you are the terrorist , and not only that into all such of crimes , what was that my comment on the bombing ? did i ever said what they did is good to warrant that stupidity in you ? i remember i condemned the act that no any sensible human being will support killing of inocent peoples , i only comment where ever peoples try to associates bad things with our religion, you produce it now if you have any claime against me , its there for all to see any way , i am not concern with whatever religion you choose for your self or that of your parents , its non of my bussines as individuals will be held accountable for his or her deeds----- period

Seven people were killed on Saturday morning when unknown persons attacked Maza, a village in Jos North Local Government of Plateau State.

The attack on the sleepy and mountainous village, also left 10 others injured, while some houses were burnt.

"We are just coming out of the village; it is a difficult terrain really. There isn't much to say. This incident is just sad,'' Kingsley Umoh, Spokesman for the Military Special Task Force (STF) charged with maintaining peace in Jos, told the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN).

Mr. Umoh's figure, however, differs with that of the State Government, who announced that 10 people were killed while another 10 sustained serious injuries.

Some reports said the dead included the family of a Christian priest.

Witnesses said the men attacked the family of Nuhu Dawat in the village of Mazah, 12km (7 miles) from the state capital of Jos, killing his wife, two children and a grandson.

The priest ran for his life, later telling Reuters: "I leave everything to God to judge."

Plateau State Police Commissioner Gregory Anyating told Reuters the authorities were trying to find out "the root causes of the violence", but it had not spread to other villages.

"The attack is nothing unusual; it is just another attempt to destroy the peace Plateau people have been enjoying in the past months,'' Mr. Gregory said.

He said that those injured were being treated at the Plateau Specialist Hospital.

"It is an embarrassing situation. Just when we thought we had found peace, we suddenly have to cope with another ugly situation," he said.

The Commissioner, who appealed to the people to remain calm, and not to take the law into their hands, called for more vigilance from the STF to prevent a recurrence.
