| [Iran Press TV] 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... Takfiri ...an adherent of takfir wal hijra, an offshoot of Salafism that regards everybody who doesn't agree with them as apostates who must be killed... s have executed a dozen people after they stormed a village in a remote part of Nigeria's northeastern Borno State, local sources say. Locals said on Saturday that holy warriors from the Boko Haram Takfiri group attacked the village of Garubula in Biu district late on Wednesday and shot 12 people dead after dragging them out of their homes. "They killed 12 people, including the village chief whom they shot in the head," said a resident. Early on Saturday, a group of attackers also raided the Sigal village in Nigeria's northeastern Borno State and kidnapped a police officer from his house, according to local sources. "We have no idea where they are holding him and we fear for his life," said one the residents in Sigal. In a similar act of violence on Friday, dozens of Boko Haram gunnies reportedly attacked the town of Rann in Borno state, hurling explosives into a cop shoppe and setting it alight. They also bombed a local administrative building and a government lodge in the area. Last Wednesday, more than 80 people were killed in two separate kabooms in the Nigerian northwestern city of Kaduna. Such attacks are usually blamed on Boko Haram bully boys. The notorious group has repeatedly targeted civilians, mostly in the remote state of Borno, killing more than 2,000 civilians since January. |
