Dozens more bodies were recovered Wednesday after violent clashes between security forces and Islamists in northern Nigeria, bringing the death toll to around 70, a count at a hospital morgue showed. A foreign news agency reporter listed 42 bodies on the floor of the morgue in the city of Bauchi, all with bullet or machete wounds. Another 25 bodies, mostly young people including minors, had been placed in cold storage rooms. "The bodies were brought in on Monday after the violence," a morgue employee told agency. Police late Monday said 38 people died in the fighting, including three members of the security forces.
