Gunmen attack U.S. convoy in Nigeria, leaving casualties and kidnappings
Gunmen attacked an American convoy in Nigeria's Anambra State, leaving four people dead and three others abducted. No U.S. citizens were involved in the attack. Separatists operating in the region have escalated their attacks in recent years, usually targeting police or government buildings. Nigerian officials often blame attacks in the southeast on the outlawed Indigenous People of Biafra movement (IPOB) and its armed wing, the Eastern Security Network.
