Nigerian troops kill 100 Islamic militants
• ReutersSecurity forces hunted door-to-door for Islamic militants in northern Nigeria after killing more than 100 of them by storming the sect's compound. A top rights group said innocent people were getting executed in the process.
The government, which blames the Boko Haram sect for instigating days of violence in the mostly Muslim region, shelled and stormed the group's mosque and headquarters Wednesday night, setting off a raging firefight with retreating militants.
