CWN Editor's Note: At least 140 people were killed and another 300 wounded in a Christmas-eve attack on Christian villages in the Plateau state of Nigeria.
Gunmen assaulted 20 remote villages in what observers described as a coordinated attack. The killings were attributed to military-style gangs that are active in a continuing battle between farmers and herders in the region.
