Nigeria: Sect leader threatens retaliation
A leader of a radical Muslim sect that started a rampage that left 700 people dead in Nigeria allegedly has issued a videotaped threat calling for new violence as the one-year anniversary of their attack nears.
Boko Haram which means "Western education is sacrilege" in Hausa has campaigned for the implementation of strict Shariah law. Boko Haram sect members rioted and attacked police stations and private homes a year ago this month, sparking a violent police crackdown.
