Amnesty International says survivors have counted 54 bodies in a schoolyard after an attack in which members of ethnic minorities were deliberately targeted. Survivors of a massacre by rebels in western Ethiopia on Sunday counted 54 bodies in a schoolyard, the latest attack in which members of ethnic minorities have been deliberately targeted, Amnesty International said Monday. Human rights groups are asking why federal soldiers left the area just hours before attackers moved in and targeted ethnic Amharas. Amharas are the second most populous ethnic group in Ethiopia after Oromos. The Oromia region's communications office in a statement called the latest assault a "brutal terror attack."
