notes: Nigeria declared Saturday it had put down an armed uprising by an Islamic movement seeking to create a Muslim state. Two police officers and at least six of the militants died in five days of clashes in three towns in predominantly Islamic Yobe state, including the capital, Damaturu. The battles sent scores of families fleeing the targeted communities of Geidam and Kanamma.
