Nigerians displaced by religious clashes seek refuge at a displacement centre in the central city of Jos, November 30, 2008. Residents delivered more bodies to the main mosque in the city on Sunday, bringing the death toll from two days of clashes to around 400 people. Rival ethnic and religious mobs have burned homes, shops, mosques and churches in fighting triggered by a disputed local election in a city at the crossroads of Nigeria's Muslim north and Christian south. It is the country's worst unrest for years. REUTERS/Akintunde Akinleye (NIGERIA)
