Video Appears to Show French Hostages Abducted in Cameroon |
2013-02-26 |
![]() The video, posted to YouTube on Monday, shows two men, a woman and four children sitting in a small tent. They are surrounded by three masked men, two of whom are holding rifles. One of the French men says the group was kidnapped by Jama'atu Ahlis Sunna Lidda'awati wal-Jihad -- the Arabic name for the Nigerian Islamist sect 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... A gunman, speaking in Arabic, warns the hostages will be killed unless Islamist faceless myrmidons are released in Cameroon and Nigeria. |
