| 2014-08-22 |
| [BBC] Northern Nigeria's riot police training academy has been overrun by Boko Haram ... not to be confused with Procol Harum, Harum Scarum, possibly to be confused with Helter Skelter. The Nigerian version of al-Qaeda and the Taliban rolled together and flavored with a smigeon of distinctly Subsaharan ignorance and brutality... Islamist turbans, a witness in Borno state has told the BBC. Shots were heard after the forces of Evil arrived in three armoured vehicles and on dozens of cycle of violences, he said. A police front man confirmed the attack while a senior security source said it had not been possible to communicate with the academy since Wednesday. The Liman Kara college is near Gwoza town, seized by Boko Haram this month. Thousands have been killed across north-eastern Nigeria since Boko Haram launched its violent campaign for an Islamic state in 2009. |
