BAUCHI, Nigeria (Reuters) - More than 100 people, mainly insurgents, died in fighting on Sunday in Nigeria's Maiduguri, a local journalist counting bodies at the biggest morgue said on Monday.
The local reporter, Bello Dukku, said by telephone that , the dead also included at least 15 soldiers and a few civilians.
Dukku said he had to leave the morgue after counting 100 bodies, because of the overwhelming stench. He said another 50 people had been injured in the fighting.
