35 Bodies in Military Uniform at Morgue after Boko Haram Raid

Thirty-five bodies in military uniform have been brought to a morgue in Nigeria's restive northeast after a coordinated assault by Boko Haram targeting the security forces, a hospital source told AFP Monday.

"We have received lots of bodies in the last three days from the attacks. I counted 35 bodies in military uniform," said a senior official at the Damaturu Specialist Hospital following the late Thursday attack in the Yobe state capital.

Boko Haram has repeatedly worn such uniforms as a disguise during attacks and it was not yet clear if the corpses were those of insurgents or troops.
