A curfew has been imposed in the town of Mubi in northeastern Nigeria after gunmen attacked students at a college
hostel
killing at least 26 people. A resident said the attackers went from door-to-door shooting or stabbing their victims. A BBC correspondent says suspicion were fall on the Islamist group Boko Haram. But a police spokesman Mohammed Ibrahim said they believe student politic was the trigger for the violence.
Precisely we cannot tell, but we strongly suspect insiders. As they went to the houses of their victims they called them by their name, as they came out from their houses, they killed them. That's is the reason why we suspected the students, because they held elections last week. We doubted with Boko Haram because their mode for operation is different from away these people operated it.
A late draft of a report by the European Commission into certain measures at Europe's nuclear power plants says hundreds of problems have been uncovered which might require up to 30 billion dollars to
put right
. Here's Christ Morris.
This report was commissioned
in the wake of
the Fukushima nuclear disaster in Japan to see how Europe's nuclear power plants would fare during extreme emergencies. A leaked draft says nearly all of them need to undergo improvements. Four reactors in two unnamed countries have less than an hour to
restore
safety functions if electrical power is lost. The report notes that some safety measures agreed two or three decades ago still haven't been implemented in some EU member states.
