| [BBC.CO.UK] Suspected Islamist gunnies have attacked a college in north-eastern Nigeria, killing up to 50 students. The students were rubbed out as they slept in their dormitory at the College of Agriculture in Yobe state. North-eastern Nigeria is under a state of emergency amid an Islamist insurgency by the 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... group. Boko Haram is fighting to overthrow Nigeria's government to create an Islamic state, and has launched a number of attacks on schools. Classrooms burned Casualty figures from the latest attack vary, but a local politician told the BBC that around 50 students had been killed. The politician said two vanloads of bodies had been taken to a hospital in Yobe's state capital, Damaturu. A witness quoted by Rooters news agency counted 40 bodies at the hospital, mostly those of young men believed to be students. College provost Molima Idi Mato, speaking to News Agency that Dare Not be Named, also said the number of dead could be as high as 50, adding that security forces were still recovering the bodies and that about 1,000 students had fled the campus. A Nigerian military source told AP that soldiers had collected 42 bodies. The gunnies also set fire to classrooms, a military front man in Yobe state, Lazarus Eli, told Agence La Belle France-Presse. The college is in the rural Gujba district. |

| #7 North Africa is where this regime allowed Seals, CIA, and US Diplomats to be slaughtered, along with dozens of Fort Hood Solders (warnings were overly abundant), Washington DC Naval personal (warnings were overly abundant), civilians at the Boston Marathon (warnings were overly abundant)... |

| #1 Our college students are at risk too - but of binge drinking, not Islamic psychopaths. How many of these Loco Bokos are there, anyway? At this point I recommend tracking them back to their lair and nuking 'em from orbit. |
