This seems to have been largely overlooked by the mainstream press. You would think a massacre of that size would merit fairly decent coverage worldwide, but I only now saw a quick blurb about it on Twitter. I'm sure we'll be seeing protests in New York and London and freeways shut down any hour now.....
More than 160 Christians were killed and 500 wounded in Nigeria on Christmas Day as radical Islamic terrorists struck in several predominantly Christian villages -- killing men, women, and children.
The attacks began on Saturday night and continued sporadically through Christmas Day, according to the Christian Post.
The terrorists also destroyed hundreds of people's homes during the attacks, leaving hundreds homeless in the counties of Barkin Ladi, Bokkos and Mangu, which are located in the central Nigerian Plateau State.
The African villages attacked were reportedly NTV, Maiyanga, Ruku, Hurum, Darwat, Dares, Chirang, Ruwi, Yelwa, Ndun, Ngyong, Murfet, Makundary, Tamiso, Chiang, Tahore, Gawarba, Dares, Meyenga, Darwat and Butura Kampani.
"Some pastors were killed, and another pastor and his wife and five children were killed during these attacks," Bokkos County resident Dawzino Mallau told the Morning Star News.
"These terrorists who attacked these Christian communities were in the hundreds, and they carried out the attacks as the hapless Christians were preparing for Christmas programs lined up by their pastors," Mallau added.
The largest number of those murdered were women, children, and the elderly -- all who could not run fast enough to get away.
