| 2012-01-09 |
| [An Nahar] Suspected Islamists have rubbed out three poker players near a church in the latest attacks targeting Christians in northeast Nigeria ... a particularly crimson stretch of Islam's bloody border... , residents said Sunday. The killings took place late Saturday in Biu town of the northeast Nigerian state of Borno. The area is one of several placed under emergency rule by a presidential decree last week. Two gunnies on a cycle of violence shot into a crowd of Christians playing cards at an abandoned hotel near a church on the outskirts of the town, killing three and wounding seven others "The gunnies, believed to be members of Boko Haram ... not to be confused with Procol Harum, Harum Scarum, possibly to be confused with Helter Skelter. Currently wearing a false nose and moustache and answering to Jama'atu Ahlus-Sunnah Lidda'Awati Wal Jihad, or Big Louie... , riding a cycle of violence, opened fire on a group of Christian residents playing poker outside the abandoned Honeymoon Hotel near EYN church and killed three people," Ba'na Ubaidu, a resident, told Agence La Belle France Presse. Biu is about 200 kilometers (125 miles) south of Maiduguri, the homeground of Boko Haram and capital of Borno state. Godwin Shamaki, a Christian resident, gave a similar account. "They just fired into the group of about 15 people playing cards, and killed three people," Shamaki said, adding that seven people were maimed. "The attackers decamped into the bush and disappeared. They are by all indications members of Boko Haram," Shamaki said. |
