.Over 200 killed in Nigeria unrest: Amnesty

LAGOS (AFP) – More than 200 people have been killed in unrest in central Nigeria since December and most perpetrators have not been prosecuted, Amnesty International said on Friday.
"Over 200 people have been killed in communal and sectarian violence in Plateau State since 24 December 2010 ... Yet the Nigerian authorities have failed to bring suspected perpetrators to justice," the global rights watchdog said in its March report.
