| 2017-04-08 |
| [UPI] 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 attacked a Nigerian army convoy and burned its military base, soldiers and witnesses said. The base, in Wajirko village in northeastern Borno state, was burned and looted on Thursday after members of Boko Harm, the anti-government group with Islamic State ...formerly ISIS or ISIL, depending on your preference. Before that al-Qaeda in Iraq, as shaped by Abu Musab Zarqawi. They're very devout, committing every atrocity they can find in the Koran and inventing a few more. They fling Allaharound with every other sentence, but to hear the pols talk they're not reallyMoslems.... ties, attacked a military convoy. Five soldiers were maimed and were missing after the attack, a soldier said. Soldiers fled the burning military base, 90 miles from the city of Maiduguri, a resident of Wajiriko told the Naij news agency. He added that gunnies arrived at the base in pickup trucks, and engaged in heavy gunfire before they burned the installation. The resident noted, though, that only soldiers and not villagers were attacked. Mustapha Karimbe, a member of a local citizens' vigilante group which is aiding in the fight against Boko Haram, said the soldiers at the base moved to another base about 40 miles away. "There were no reports of casualties from either side, but the base was completely burned by the Boko Haram terrorists, and the soldiers fled," Karimbe said. |
