| Hunters Kill 7 Islamic Radicals | |
| 2004-01-10 | |
Hunters in Borno State have shot dead seven Islamic radicals who were fleeing a military crackdown on a group inspired by the Afghan Taliban militia. On Tuesday, 13 members of the Muhajirun sect arrived in the village of Sandiya in the state, preaching and demanding transport after their vehicle broke down, villagers said. They shot dead the leader of a local group of hunters, triggering a bloody confrontation in which seven of the Islamic gang were shot dead. The remaining six fled into the bush. Police in the Borno State capital, Maiduguri, yesterday showed journalists seven bodies and 13 seized AK-47 assault rifles.

| #4 Oh Mercutio, that is too cool! I would have thought they would have dashed off into the bush after them and got a full house? Oh well, better luck next time... |

| #1 Shooting at armed guys who are familiar with their guns is never a good idea, especially when your car is broken down. |
