Bats fly over a church tower in Jos, capital of the religiously mixed Plateau state, Nigeria AFP When the news came through of yet another massacre in the countryside in Nigeria's volatile Plateau state, local Christian Jamaima Haruna was terrified for her Muslim husband. The slayings in the Bokkos district left 52 dead -- one of two major bouts of suspected intercommunal violence this month, in a state where Muslim herders and mostly Christian farmers regularly clash. Haruna, 39, was selling potatoes in the market in Jos, the state capital.
