නෙස්ඩ්රෝම්ස්ගේ අනාවැකි සත්ය වේද?
Some 500 people, including many women and children, are now reported to have died in a weekend religious clash near Nigeria's city of Jos, officials say.
The figure was earlier put at 100 and it is hard to verify casualties. Troops have been deployed and local officials said dozens of arrests had been made.
They said three mainly Christian villages near Jos were attacked from nearby hills by people with machetes.
There is a long history of local tension between Muslims and Christians.
The attacks are said to have been in revenge for the killing of several hundred people around Jos in January.
Although sectarianism is blamed for such clashes, correspondents say poverty and access to resources such as land often lie at the root of the violence.
