| [HISPANICBUSINESS] The corpse count from a weekend attack by Death Eater Islamist sect 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... in north-eastern Nigeria has risen to 60, local media reported Tuesday. The attack on Moslem worshippers at a mosque in Konduga village, near Borno's state capital Maiduguri, only became known late Monday. Authorities initially reported 44 deaths and scores injured. Military authorities in the north-western state of Sokoto said they apprehended 20 Boko Harem members, including one of its kingpins, Malam Mubarak. The suspects are being interrogated to establish if they were involved in the Borno attack, said Sokoto military spokesperson Musa Yahay. Nigerian security agencies are on high alert following intelligence reports that said Boko Haram planned to carry out bombings after the end of Ramadan, the Islamic holy month, on August 7. |
