Three Killed as Nigeria "Taliban" Fighters Attack Christian Village.

Reports have emerged in Nigeria that so-called Taliban militia have attacked a Christian village in the Taraba State.

The militia attacked Kumutu village with sophisticated weapons. Release International, a Christian organisation supporting persecuted Christians worldwide, reported the attacks included the burning of houses, and the killing of three villagers and the injuring 30 others. In addition, four others were badly wounded.

A long-running series of attacks have occurred against Christian towns and villages in Nigeria, which have seen Christians being driven from their homes in several northern states to pave the way for strict Islamic law.

In Borno state earlier this year more than 60 Christians were slaughtered, and 57 separate churches destroyed in vicious attacks.
