| 2010-12-29 |
| [Daily Nation (Kenya)] The corpse count from a series of Christmas Eve bombings and reprisals in central Nigeria has risen to at least 80, the emergency management agency said on Tuesday, bringing the nationwide toll to 86. "We have gone around the five hospitals where casualties from the kabooms and the violence that followed in Jos were taken," said Daniel Balarabe Gambo, deputy director of communications for the National Emergency Management Agency. Meanwhile, ...back at the ranch... a group Jama'atu Ahlus-Sunnah Lidda'Awati Wal Jihad claimed the attack. |

| #4 I realize the Daily Nation created the headline "Death Toll at..." However, since the attackers were self proclaimed jihadists and the victims were all Christians, a better headline would have been, "Jihadists slaughter 86 Christians in Nigeria". The problem of headlines that whitewash Islam, Jihad, etc. is world wide, not just in the US. |

| #3 Al-Quita's primary objectives are the Nigerian oil fields. Dead Christians are simply a bonus dividend. |

| #2 There have been arms shipments through the coast. Al-Q has stated elevated interest in Nigeria. The arms are probably filtering to the Congo and Darfur - the moslems are setting their routes through the heart of the country where they will incidently make mayhem on the Christians. |
