| Boko Haram Video Shows Beheading of Nigeria Pilot |
| 2014-10-03 |
| [NDTV] A new 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... video shows the beheading of a man identified as the pilot of a missing Nigerian Air Force jet and burnt out parts of a plane - the first indication that Nigeria's homegrown Islamic bully boy group has the capability to bring down aircraft. It also allegedly features Boko Haram leader Abubakar Shekau, a man Nigeria's military twice has claimed to kill in 2009 and again last year. Two weeks ago the military said they had killed in battle a Shekau lookalike who had posed in the group's videos. "Here I am, alive and I will remain alive until the day Allah takes away my breath," the man says in the Hausa language. "Even if you kill me ... it will not stop us imposing Islamic rule ... We are still in our Islamic state, reigning and teaching the Koran." The United States still has a $7 million ransom on Shekau's head, despite the death claims. The video was made available to The News Agency that Dare Not be Named through the same channels used previously and seems to show the same man claiming to be Shekau. In the latest video, he says they are prosecuting in accordance with Shariah law in areas under their control. Examples of punishments are shown, including the stoning death of a man apparently accused of adultery; the amputation of the hand of a young man accused of theft; the lashings of a man and what appears to be a girl covered in the hijab. |

| #1 As per FREEREPUBLIC, a newly released ISIS video shows Brit hostage + humanitarian worker Alex Henning being killed by same. The next victim may be an American, a former US Army Ranger turned aid worker. Iff the above prove true, the ISIS/ISIL is daring the US + NATO-EU to escalate. |
