Missing Nigerian schoolgirls: Boko Haram issues new video mocking BringBackOurGirls campaign

The head of Nigeria's Boko Haram has claimed responsibility for a bombing in the capital Abuja and an attack hours later in Lagos which the authorities tried to cover up, in a video obtained by AFP Sunday.

In the 16-minute video, Boko Haram chief Abubakar Shekau also voices support for the extremist Sunni Islamic State (IS) militants who have taken over large swathes of territory in Iraq and Syria.

...

Near the beginning of the video Shekau calls several of the world's most prominent Islamist extremists his "brethren".

"May Allah protect you" he said, listing IS chief, Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi, Al-Qaeda head Ayman al-Zawahiri, Taliban leader Mullah Omar and several others.

Speaking in English, Shekau recited the Bring Back Our Girls slogan used by activists to pressure for the release of schoolgirls.

"Bring Back Our Girls... bring back our army," he says, in what may be reference to a previous offer that the hostages could be freed if Nigeria releases Boko Haram fighters held in custody.

Boko Haram's uprising, aimed at creating a strict Islamic state in Nigeria's mainly Muslim north, is estimated to have killed more than 10,000 people since 2009, and Shekau vowed more bloodshed.

I hate to admit it, but that’s pretty funny.

This new breed of terrorists seems quite savvy in the propaganda war against the west.

“This new breed of terrorists seems quite savvy in the propaganda war against the west”

That’s nothing special against an ignorant populace that elects people like Obama.

Abubakar Sheku the so called leader of the Boko H. is openly laughing at the ludicrous impotence of the White House “#Bring Back Our Girls” campaign. We know who he is, most likely, we know where he is. Nothing is stopping us from letting a few bombs drop near his tent. More correctly, nothing is stopping the Nigerian Military from doing this, unless they too have found some benefit by allowing their children to be kidnapped and exploited.

And yet, nothing is done. So much for the US being a super power. Scary stuff.
