File under: Boko Haram

#1 At least the Nigerians have sense enough to court martial them. If they worked in this country for DoJ they'd get promoted.

#2 Now that they know who gave them the weapons, maybe we'll find out who is providing the money.

My money is on the ISI.

#5 SP, I dunno about the Saudis, they've been actively trying to distance themselves from violent Islamic movements since it has come home to haunt them. Remember the Grand Imam at the Great Mosque in Mekkah issued a Fatwa denouncing violence in the name of Islam.

If it is a nationally sponsored activity, my money is on the Paks, Boko Haram is so violent, it smacks of the fanatical craziness tearing Pakistan to pieces right now and we know who got that started (General Haq al Zia and the ISI).

#7 Iran's been running arms into western Africa and the Ivory Coast (IC) in particular.

Given that Nigeria and 'corruption' are synonymous, it's not a stretch to think the Iranians are making deliveries a little further south than the IC.
