Nigeria says it seizes 14 tonnes of fertiliser meant for Boko Haram bombs
[REUTERS] Nigerian troops have seized 14 tonnes of fertiliser that the murderous Moslem Islamist group 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...
had planned to turn into roadside kabooms, the army said on Thursday.

Boko Haram has killed hundreds of people in bombings during its 12-year war against the armed forces in northeast Nigeria
... a particularly crimson stretch of Islam's bloody border...
, a conflict that has spilled over into neighbouring Niger, Chad and Cameroon
...a long, narrow country that fills the space between Nigeria and Chad on the northeast, CAR to the southeast. Prior to incursions by Boko Haram nothing ever happened there...
and caused an estimated 350,000 deaths.

The army said it had broken up a urea fertiliser syndicate that supplied the Lions of Islam with materials to make IEDs, or improvised bombs.

Troops seized 281 bags of urea, each weighing 50kg, at two locations in northeastern Borno and Yobe states, military front man Brigadier General Onyema Nwachukwu said in a statement.

He said the Lions of Islam were "desperately acquiring IED materials to make bombs with which to unleash terror on innocent civilians, in a bid to remain relevant and present a posture of potency".

Boko Haram, whose leader Abubakar Shekau
...the lunatic leader of Boko Haram who has been reported dead at least eleven times, pledged his body and soul to ISIS, told his fighters to hang it up once or twice, and been fired by the Caliph and refused to step down. Last seen in 2017, sneaking into Cameroon while wearing a burka...
died in May, has been in a conflict with splinter group-turned-rival, the Islamic State
...formerly ISIS or ISIL, depending on your preference. Before that they were al-Qaeda in Iraq, as shaped by Abu Musab Zarqawi. They're really very devout, committing every atrocity they can find in the Koran and inventing a few more. They fling Allah around with every other sentence, but to hear western pols talk they're not really Moslems....
's West Africa Province (ISWAP).
