RESIDENT FLEE THEIR HOUSES AFTER RIOTING IN NORTHERN CITY OF KADUNA, 2002-11-22 (photo)

Residents flee their houses in a van laden with belongings after riots in the northern Nigerian city of Kaduna on November 22, 2002. More than 100 people have died in three days of riots stoked by Muslim fury over the country's staging of next month's Miss World contest. The Nigerian Red Cross gave a figure of at least 105 killed by Friday morning, and witnesses spoke of more killings by civilians and security forces since then. The streets of the northern city were littered with charred vehicles and burnt tyres. Hundreds of residents were seen fleeing their smouldering houses carrying their belongings.
