At least 200 people, most of them Christians, have been murdered in ethnic attacks near the city of Jos, Nigeria.

The latest violence is thought to be revenge for similar clashes in January when days of deadly violence in the central Plateau State left more than 300 dead, most of them Muslims.

The weekend killings add to the tally of thousands who have died in Nigeria in the last decade due to ethnic, political and economic frictions.
