Kano (Nigeria) (AFP) - Gunmen believed to be cattle rustlers have killed 36 miners in northern Nigeria, the government and residents said Tuesday, the latest in a long-running series of such raids. Motorcycle-riding gunmen suspected to be cattle thieves invaded a goldmine late Monday outside Bindin village in northern Zamfara state, shooting dead miners and gold merchants.
