[AnNahar] At least eight people were killed outside a church in a suspected 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... attack carried out by gunnies on bicycles in northeast Nigeria ... a particularly crimson stretch of Islam's bloody border... , local residents said on Monday. The attack happened shortly after morning service on Sunday in Kwamjilari village, about 30 kilometers (19 miles) east of the town of Chibok, in Borno state. "Some of the worshipers remained around the church and the gunnies opened fire and eight men died," said Luka Damina, from nearby Kautikeri village, where locals fled.
"Many people ran into the bush with gunshot wounds. But so far we can only confirm eight deaths." The attackers set fire to homes and fields of maize that were almost ready for harvest, according to a local chief in Kautikeri, who also said eight people were killed.
A similar attack in the area last month left 10 people dead and saw 13 others kidnapped, while homes were looted and set on fire.
