| Nigeria Military Base Attack Kills at Least 20 |
| 2013-03-03 |
| Fighters linked to the radical Islamic terrorist network Boko Haram attacked a military base in NigeriaÂ’s north on Sunday in an assault that left at least 20 people dead, as the networkÂ’s leader denied any peace talks with NigeriaÂ’s government. The attack in the village of Monguno, some 200 kilometers (125 miles) from the city of Maiduguri, punctuated the video statement by Abubakar Shekau that said Nigeria will remain under attack by the group until the multiethnic nation is ruled under Islamic law. Shekau also threatened the man who in recent months claimed to be a leader of Boko Haram and said that the group wanted to agree to a cease-fire with NigeriaÂ’s security forces. |

IIUC, NIGERIA = SYRIA = IT TAINT "LOCAL BAD BOYZ ONLY" ANYMORE??? |
