The
destruction wreaked by Islamist militants in Nigeria when they
slaughtered an estimated 2,500 people including a woman while she was in
labour has been revealed in shocking new satellite images.
Terror
group Boko Haram outraged the world last week when they
indiscriminately murdered innocent men, women and children as they
attacked the towns of Baga and Doron Baga.
Now,
new images obtained by Amnesty International show how the towns were
devastated by the assault - with more than 3,700 structures including
houses and schools completely destroyed.
