File under: Boko Haram (ISIS)

#2 tw: that might actually be their motive, if the crew were a bunch of Ibo and/or Christians from the SE of the country.

(Way back when I was someone I had customers and other acquaintances from the area, but I was under the impression that most of them were now working in South Africa and/or Angola because the work there was steadier. So maybe someone I used to know was killed, I dunno. But... ask not for whom the bell tolls, the bell tolls for thee and me...)
