Nigeria: Italy Says Foreign Captives Are Dead

Foreign hostages - including reportedly a Briton - kidnapped by a Nigerian Islamist group have been killed, Italy has said.

"Our checks conducted in coordination with the other countries concerned lead us to believe that the news of the killing of the hostages seized last month is true," the Italian foreign ministry said in a statement.

A Nigerian Islamist group said on Saturday it had killed the seven foreign hostages abducted from compound of Setraco, a Lebanese construction company, in the town of Jama'are in Bauchi state on February 7.

The al Qaeda-linked Ansaru group, believed to be an offshoot of the larger Boko Haram, is said to be behind the abductions.

The British Foreign Office has said it is "urgently investigating" the reports.
