A building allegedly housing an Islamic religious sect and vehicles are seen in flames after reportedly being set ablaze by Nigerian soldiers on July 30, 2009 in Maiduguri. Troops pounded parts of a northern Nigerian city in pursuit of fleeing members of an extremist sect on the fifth straight day of gun battles that have left more than 600 dead and thousands displaced. Residents and an AFP reporter heard sounds of heavy and light machine gun fire rattling across sections of Maiduguri not previously targetted by the deadly clashes. An army commander said members of the Nigerian Islamist fundamentalist sect fled their bases in Maiduguri on Wednesday after the military overran their mosque and leader's compound.
