Suspected Boko Haram Islamist have killed 3 South Korean doctors, beheading 1, in northeastern Nigeria attack.
AE Correspondent in Potiskum, Nigeria, saw the corpses of the South Korean doctors. Two had their throats slit. One had been beheaded.

A hospital official in Potiskum, identified the dead doctors by name and told reporters they were from South Korea.

The wives of the assassinated doctors were found hiding behind flower bed after the attack.

Yobe State commissioner of police says investigations have commenced.

Boko Haram are seen as the most serious threat to the stability of Nigeria, Africa's top energy producer, and Western governments fear it could become a base for operations of al Qaeda-linked Islamist groups in the Sahara.

President Goodluck Jonathan has highlighted links between Boko Haram and Saharan Islamists, including al Qaeda's North African affiliate, as a reason for joining efforts by French and West African forces to fight them in Mali.
