A Nigerian Air Force fighter jet on a mission against Boko Haram extremists mistakenly bombed a refugee camp Tuesday, killing more than 100 refugees and wounding aid workers, a Borno state official said. A Red Cross worker said 20 volunteers with the aid group had been killed. An ICRC employee told the AP that 20 Red Cross volunteers were among the dead. Irabor said he ordered the mission based on information that Boko Haram insurgents were gathering, along with geographic coordinates. The general, who is the theater commander for counterinsurgency operations in northeast Nigeria, said the Air Force would not deliberately target civilians but there will be an investigation.
