Islamic militants kill at least 60 people in north-east Nigeria

The attack in Borno state follows the massacre of 69 villagers in a raid in the same area

Islamic militants have killed at least 20 soldiers and more than 40 civilians and injured hundreds in twin attacks in north-east Nigeria, residents and a civilian task force fighter said.

The attacks, in the Monguno and Nganzai districts of Borno state, came just days after militants killed at least 69 people in a raid on a village in a third area, Gubio.
