At least 12 farmers have been killed in a suspected Boko Haram attack in the volatile Borno state in Nigeria.  Scores of others were injured. According to the leader of a local militia, the militants attacked farmers harvesting crop in the remote village of Kalle.  He says they used machetes instead of guns so as not to attract the attention of troops nearby. It was not clear which of the two Boko Haram factions was behind the attack.
