Nearly 150 people are reported to have been killed by suspected Boko Haram Islamist militants in attacks in Nigeria's north-eastern Borno state.

Eyewitnesses say the gunmen stormed the village of Kukawa near Lake Chad on Wednesday evening, killing 97 people, including women and children.

On Tuesday, the militants shot dead 48 men after they had finished prayers in two villages near the town of Monguno, a resident told the BBC.

The women are said to have been spared.

Monguno was recently recaptured from Boko Haram. At least 23 people died in the town last month after a confiscated Boko Haram bomb exploded during celebrations to mark the successful military operation against the Islamist group.

According to Amnesty International, at least 17,000 people, mostly civilians, have been killed since 2009, when Boko Haram launched its violent uprising to try to impose militant Islamist rule.

Well, that’s what rabid dogs do. They go after anything and everything.

Although it’s an unfair comparison, dogs are amazing creatures who can’t do anything about rabies. Didn’t intend to insult any dogs.

Let me guess, that smelly looking Procol Harum negro with the huge head that is always yammering on videos got on twit or facefarque or whatever and started yapping it immediately?

I still cannot understand why a sniper has not yet turned that ugly head into pumpkin squash from 500-800 yards out.

Muslims fighting Muslims in Muslim countries. I fail to see a problem with that.
