A new video from Nigeria's home-grown Boko Haram extremists shows gunmen mowing down civilians lying face down in a dormitory, and a leader saying they are being killed because they are 'infidels' or non-believers.
There are so many corpses the gunmen have difficulty stepping to reach bodies still twitching with life. Most appear to be adult men.
'We have made sure the floor of this hall is turned red with blood, and this is how it is going to be in all future attacks and arrests of infidels,' the group leader says in a message.
'From now, killing, slaughtering, destruction and bombing will be our religious duty anywhere we invade.'
The video released to journalists late Saturday comes two days after fleeing villagers reported that the extremists are rounding up elderly people and killing them in two schools in Gwoza, in northeast Nigeria.
The setting of the latest video appears to be a school, a long dormitory furnished with bunk beds which the leader says is in Bama, a town 40 miles north of Gwoza.
Students and schools are frequently targeted by Boko Haram, which means 'Western education is sinful' in the Hausa language.
