At least three people have been killed by the Islamic State
...formerly ISIS or ISIL, depending on your preference. Before that they were al-Qaeda in Iraq, as shaped by Abu Musab Zarqawi. They're really very devout, committing every atrocity they can find in the Koran and inventing a few more. They fling
Allaharound with every other sentence, but to hear western pols talk they're not

The bully boyz struck on Tuesday.
The attack occurred almost the same time as the UN Secretary-General, António Guterres
...Portuguese politician and diplomat, ninth Secretary-General of the United Nations. Previously, he was the UN High Commissioner for Refugees between 2005 and 2015. He was the Prime Minister of Portugal from 1995 to 2002 and was the Secretary-General of the Socialist Party from 1992 to 2002. He served as President of the Socialist International from 1999 to 2005. In both a 2012 and 2014 poll, the Portuguese public ranked him as the best Prime Minister of the previous 30 years...

...Nigeerian Islamist group, formerly paying homage to al-Qaeda, then, when the money ran out, to the Islamic State, and headed by nutcase Abu Bakr Shekau. Once he exploded in a gunfight with ISWAP, many in the group surrendered to the govt and others went with their new overlords. The remainder are a shell of their former selves, stmbling glassy-eyed and lonely through the Sambisa Forest and the soothing waters of Lake Chad, asking themselves What is truth?, or maybe just

A villager said the attack started around 6pm and it got all the villagers deserting for safety in the nearby Sambisa Forest where the bully boyz camped.
"The attack started at 6:20pm this evening (Tuesday). They came on their cycle of violences and started to shoot randomly from all angles.
"The villagers ran to the bush for safety but the bush is Sambisa forest and that is where the Boko Haram Death Eaters are living. That village has been attacked more than ten times this year alone," Adamson, a handicapped from Chibok said.
"There is no other village around there except the Sambisa Forest and the people living there have never left their homes despite the attacks.
"According to what I was told by a relative who is presently hiding in the bush, the bully boyz shot one man dead in his car and then set the car ablaze with the dead body inside the vehicle.
"They also killed two others while also burning down several houses. But we cannot determine the level of damage or destruction now until in the morning when they are all back in their villages," Adamson said.
The UN Chief who visited Gubio camp immediately when he arrived in Maiduguri told Zulum that he was happy with the condition he met the IDPs and pledged to offer all necessary assistance to ensure the safe return of IDPs to their ancestral homes in line with the state government’s resettlement plan.
