Boko Haram burns kids alive in Nigeria, 86 dead: Reports

At least 86 people, including a number of children, have been killed in a series of attacks on a village in north-eastern Nigeria. 

Reports say suspected Boko Haram fighters  bombed huts and opened fire on civilians yesterday in the village of Dalori, leaving bullet-ridden and charred bodies strewn across the streets. 

Gunmen also tried to storm a camp close to Dalori, home to some 25 thousand refugees, but were repelled by troops. 

Witnesses say they heard the screams of children burning to death as huts and homes were razed to the ground.
