The Nigerian version of al-Qaeda and the Taliban rolled together and flavored with a smigeon of distinctly Subsaharan ignorance and brutality... jihadists have killed eight loggers near the northeast Nigeria ... a particularly crimson stretch of Islam's bloody border... n city of Maiduguri, vigilantes and residents told AFP. The Islamist gunnies on Saturday stopped nine loggers in a pickup truck near Kayamla Village, 10 kilometres from the city, murdering eight while one managed to escape. BURNED BODIES "The gunnies stopped the van and rounded up the men. They slaughtered eight of them and burnt their bodies," vigilante Babakura Kolo told AFP.
