LAGOS, Dec 13 (Reuters) - An armed group that kidnapped
humanitarian workers in northeastern Nigeria in July has claimed
it killed four hostages, international aid agency Action Against
Hunger said on Friday.
"Action Against Hunger condemns these latest killings in the
strongest terms and deeply regrets that its calls for the
release of the hostages have not been acted upon," it said. The
group was abducted near the town of Damasak in the northeastern
region where Islamist insurgents operate.
