Nigerian gunmen open fire in pub

This week's article comes from the BBC. Ten civilians have died after gunmen, dressed as soldiers, entered the pub in Central Nigeria and opened fire. The shootings happened in a plateau state region where many rival ethnic groups have clashed in the past. The military is denying involvement as the gunmen dressed as soldiers. Witnesses said that the van used also resembled a military vehicle. Since this has happened before, military is not being blamed just yet. the battles take place over ethnic, religious and cultural differences. Ten civilians killed is a very tragic incident, one that should not be taken lightly.
