MAIDUGURI, Nigeria -- Authorities say members of a radical Muslim sect shot and killed four people at a beer parlor in Nigeria's restive northeast.
Borno state police commissioner Simeone Midena told The Associated Press on Tuesday the shooting happened Monday night in Maiduguri, home to the sect known locally as Boko Haram.
A witness said two gunmen carrying Kalashnikov rifles under their traditional robes attacked the bar.
Midena said no arrests have been made.
Boko Haram, whose name means "Western education is sacrilege" in the local Hausa language, wants the strict implementation of Shariah law in Nigeria. The sect claimed responsibility for the Aug. 26 car bombing of the United Nations headquarters in Nigeria that killed at least 23 people and wounded 81.
