Nigerians rampage for second day in Kano
KANO, Nigeria -- Muslim mobs brandishing machetes and clubs attacked Christians in the streets of Kano on Wednesday as security forces struggled to quell a two-day rampage to avenge a massacre of hundreds of Nigerian Muslims.
Police confirmed at least 30 killed in strife engulfing this northern city, where thousands -- mostly minority Christians -- cowered in army barracks and police stations as mobs attacked victims outside. Witnesses spoke of scores more slaughtered.
"I saw them put an old tire on his neck and set him ablaze," said a 30-year old Christian, Barry Owoyemi, of a dead Christian neighbor. Owoyemi was whisked to safety by police who fired guns in the air to scare away the attackers.
Authorities ordered police to shoot rioters on sight.
The rampage exploded Tuesday following a demonstration by thousands of Muslims protesting the slaying of up to 600 Muslims by a predominantly Christian ethnic group last week in the central Nigeria town Yelwa.

Islam is the problem.
But the Police fired into the air... Hmmm. Looks like the problem is obvious, the police are on the Saudi Payroll.
