Satellite images reveal the horrifying aftermath of Boko Haram's deadly Nigeria massacre

The destruction of Boko Haram's latest attack, which left an estimated 2,000 people dead, is now visible from space. New satellite images provided by Amnesty International reveal the horrifying extent of last week's assault on villages in the West African nation by the militant Islamist group. The attack targeted the Nigerian towns of Baga and Doron Baga and is said to be one of the bloodiest in the group's history. The images, which were taken on Jan. 2 and Jan. 7, illustrate the stark desolation of the towns in Boko Haram's wake. "These detailed images show devastation of catastrophic proportions in two towns, one of which was almost wiped off the map in the space of four days," said Daniel Eyre, who researches Nigeria for Amnesty International.
