In Lagos, Nigeria the death toll from attacks by radical Muslim sect in northeastern Nigeria rose to more than 100 on Sunday, and the US Embassy warned that the sect might be preparing to bomb three luxury hotel that tourists usually stay in. These hotels are the Hilton, Sheraton and Nicon. The embassy said that it advises its diplomats and staff to stay away from these hotels. The Nigerian red cross is reacting to these attacks.
