http://www.foxnews.com/world/2014/12/18/suspect-boko-haram-militants-kidnap-at-least-100-in-nigeria/?intcmp=latestnewsSuspected Islamic militants -- believed to be Boko Haram -- stormed a village in Nigeria and captured at least 185 young men, women and children, witnesses revealed Thursday.
The attack occurred in Gumburi on Sunday, but details of it emerged Thursday after survivors reached the city of Maiduguri, the BBC reports.
The news came as Nigeria sentenced 54 soldiers to death for refusing to deploy to recapture three towns seized by Boko Haram in August.
In the Sunday attack, the militants ?gathered the people, shot dead over 30 people and took away more than 100 women and children in two open top trucks," Maina Chibok, who visited family in the village after the kidnappings, told Reuters.
Teenager Aji Ibrahim said he was lucky to escape into the bushes.
