Suspected Boko Haram militants killed at least 39 people as they prepared for prayers in Mainok, a village about 30 miles from the Borno state capital of Maiduguri, where Boko Haram killed over 100 people yesterday. Interior Minister Moro said Qatar-based radical Islamist preacher Abu Bilal Philips, who has been banned in Australia, UK, US, and elsewhere, was granted a visa because he is not on Nigeria's blacklist.
