The United States says it is deeply
concerned about the violent clashes between Nigerian government troops and the
main Shia sect in Africa's most populous state. While many details of the
clashes which began on 12 December remain unclear, “we are dismayed to
learn of multiple civilian deaths", said James Entwistle, the US
ambassador to Nigeria.
