| Nigeria: Sect leader threatens retaliation |
| 2010-07-01 |
| A leader of a radical Muslim sect that started a rampage that left 700 people dead in Nigeria allegedly has issued a videotaped threat calling for new violence as the one-year anniversary of their attack nears. Boko Haram — which means "Western education is sacrilege" in Hausa — has campaigned for the implementation of strict Shariah law. Boko Haram sect members rioted and attacked police stations and private homes a year ago this month, sparking a violent police crackdown. |
