61 perish in Nigeria clashes

AT least 61 people have been killed during several days of fighting in northeast Nigeria between security forces and a radical Muslim sect responsible for a series of increasingly bloody attacks in Africa's most populous nation, authorities said yesterday.

The fighting between suspected members of the sect known as Boko Haram and a joint task force of police and military began on Thursday in Borno and Yobe states.
