Associated Press (AP) Christian Jonathan's mother was holding the 9-month-old boy in her arms when she was shot dead during an attack on their village in northwestern Nigeria. The assailants cut off one of Christian's finger and abandoned him by the side of the road with a bullet wound in his tiny leg.
They left him on the ground beside his mothers body, said Joshua Jonathan, Christians father. They thought the boy was dead.
