29 July
An armed group in Nigeria has attacked people who had been attending a funeral, leaving at least 65 dead.
Reuters and other media say militants on motorbikes and in vans opened fire at people returning from a funeral in the northeastern state of Borno on Saturday.
So far, no one has claimed responsibility. But local officials suspect Boko Haram Islamic extremists were involved in the attack.
The group, which is based in the state, has been carrying out attacks targeting civilians in the area.
In 2014, the extremists abducted more than 200 girls from a school.
The Nigerian government has declared a state of emergency in Borno and two other northeastern states, and deployed its military in the region to destroy Boko Haram.
