MAIDUGURI, Nigeria—At least 65 people died in an attack by suspected Islamists on a group returning from a funeral in Nigeria’s northeastern Borno region, state television reported on Sunday, one of the deadliest attacks on civilians in recent years.
There was no immediate claim of responsibility, but the Boko Haram group and rival group ISIS in West Africa (ISWA), splintered from ISIS, have often carried out attacks in the area.
