All 166 people who were kidnapped during an attack on a village and churches in Kurmin Wali in northern Nigeria's Kaduna State last month have been released, the Christian Association of Nigeria (CAN) said. Reverend John Hayab, chairman of the northern chapter of CAN, said on Thursday that every abducted worshipper had now returned, without giving details on whether a ransom was paid or how the release was secured, the Reuters news agency reported.

At least three people were killed and ten others injured, including a priest, in Israel's attack on the church. Israeli forces have bombed Gaza's only Catholic church.
