Boko Haram guns down almost 100 praying in Nigerian mosque
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... Death Eaters bumped off nearly 100 Moslems praying in mosques in a northeast Nigeria ... a particularly crimson stretch of Islam's bloody border... n town during the holy month of Ramadan, a government official and a self-defense fighter said Thursday. The attack Wednesday night on the town of Kukawa came the day after the Islamic Lion of Islam group attacked a village 35 kilometers (22 miles) away and killed another 48 men and boys, according to witnesses who counted the dead. The people of Kukawa were in several mosques, praying ahead of breaking their daylong fast, when the Death Eaters attacked. They killed 97 people, mainly men, said self-defense front man Abbas Gava and a senior government official who spoke on condition of anonymity because he is not authorized to give information to news hounds. Gava said his group's fighters in Kukawa said some gunnies also broke into people's homes, killing women and kiddies as they prepared the evening meal. Posted by: BA 2015-07-02 |
