Nigerian jet 'kills at least 50 civilians' in accidental attack
A Nigerian air force jet has accidentally killed and injured many civilians in Rann, in the north-east of the country, the military has said.
International aid agency MSF says at least 50 people were killed and more than 100 injured in the incident.
Aid workers are among the casualties - the Red Cross says six of its workers are confirmed dead.
The attack took place near Nigeria's border with Cameroon where the army has been fighting Boko Haram militants.
Army spokesman Maj-Gen Lucky Irabor said the jet's pilot had mistakenly believed he was attacking insurgents. He said the mission had been ordered, based on intelligence about a gathering of Boko Haram fighters.

I'm sorry anyone, at least innocents perish in wars but just saying, in general, the North, where this happened is the Muslim area (South is Christian) though, there are still Christian villages up there. The pictures at the link do seem to show some hijab clothed women. I don't mean to say anything controversial but we all know Christians have suffered over there very much.
