BAUCHI, Nigeria, Dec 28 (Reuters) - A radical Islamist sect said on Tuesday it was behind bombings in central Nigeria and attacks on churches in the northeast of the country that led to the deaths of at least 86 people.
The police said on Tuesday that 80 people were killed in Christmas Eve bomb attacks and clashes two days later between Muslim and Christian youths in central Nigeria, while more than 100 are wounded in hospitals.
"We have recovered 80 dead bodies so far in Jos," Daniel Gambo, an official at the Nigerian emergency management agency said late on Monday.
In a separate incident, six people were killed when petrol bombs were thrown late on Friday at churches in the northeastern city of Maiduguri, in Borno state.

why do they call it a radical islam sect? Islam is Islam, either you follow it or you don’t. I’m tired of the media always trying to water it down. Yes, I know they’ve been doing it for so long it’s second nature, but I guess one can hope that we’d see some accurate reporting for once.
Ah, yes, the “Religion of pieces” - bomb pieces, machete pieces, bullet pieces.
Love them Nigerian Amish.
bttt
“clashes”
Is that what they call it when Muslims attack Christians praying in churches and the Christians try to defend themselves?
Right to the point. Islam is Islam. The only way to stop it is get rid of it. Just like communism and the Nazis.....get rid of them once and for all. Then we can get back to rebuilding this nation as the best and strongest in the world...........whether they like it or not. This is our country, not theirs.
Nothing else to say.
We should withdraw our troops, then the killing will stop.
>I’m tired of the media always trying to water it down.<
.
It’s not only the media that’s guilty of doing it — many politicians join in excusing Muslim behavior.
Have you heard any congress critter being shocked about the forced exodus of Christians fron Iraq?
