From the BBC:

A curfew has been imposed in the city of Bauchi in northern Nigerian after 10 people were killed in a sectarian riot.
It began as an argument between a teacher and a pupil over the confiscation of a Koran in school.

But rumours swept the town that the book had been desecrated and that was the cue for youths, some armed with machetes, to rampage through the city.

The violence comes just two days after protests against Danish cartoons in two northern cities left at least 25 dead.

Damned touchy, these Muslim chappies.
