22 killed in three attacks in Nigeria - Jack VanGorden

Since last Friday, 22 people have been killed in three separate attacks. 15 of those 22 were Christians, who were shot inside a church. The first attack occurred at a village in Musari. Several were killed, but three of the attackers were also pronounced dead after the incident. Meanwhile in Adamawa state, a group of attackers freed 25 inmates in a local prison. In Sunday's attack many Christian worshippers were either shot or had their throat slit. Officials believe that the attackers belong to a group called Boko Haram, but little is known about the group besides that they seem to be targeted churches in the area. I wouldn't feel comfortable going to my place of worship after hearing about all of the attacks. I hope that something is done to stop this group of attackers.
