At least 192 people have been killed in renewed Muslim-Christian clashes in the central Nigerian city of Jos, a senior local Muslim cleric said on Tuesday. The bodies of the dead were being brought in to the city's central mosque, according to its head Balarabe Dawud. "We received 156 dead bodies this morning and another 36 this afternoon, in total we have 192 dead bodies," Dawud said.

He said at least 800 people had been wounded in the clashes, 90 of whom had been evacuated to military hospitals due to the severity of their injuries. In Bukuru town on the outskirts of Jos, fighting broke out in the afternoon and at least three people died, according to a paramedic.
