At Least 50 Killed in Suicide Bomb Attack at Mosque in Northern Nigeria

Posted on 11/21/2017 1:32:30 PM PST by BenLurkin

The attack happened in the town of Mubi in Adamawa State as worshipers were gathering for the “fajr” dawn prayer at around 5:20 a.m. local time, said Othman Abubakar, a police spokesman.

The bomber was about 17 years old, Abubakar added. Many more people were injured and taken to nearby hospitals.

So far no one has claimed responsibility for the attack, but over the past eight years, jihadist group Boko Haram has carried out hundreds of deadly attacks on mosques, schools, markets and churches in northern Nigeria. Boko Haram, whose name translates roughly as “western education is forbidden,” frequently uses children to carry out the bombings.

..

The inhabitants of the area are mainly subsistence farmers and herders from the Fulani tribe who trade at Mubi’s regionally prominent cattle market.

The town is near the Sambisa forest where Boko Haram fighters are believed to be hiding out, and where they took more than 270 schoolgirls they had kidnapped from a school in nearby Chibok in 2014, shocking the world. Boko Haram briefly overran Mubi in 2014 before it was liberated by Nigerian soldiers.

And the strong Western World response was to have a fat, butt-ugly 1st wench hold up a sign saying “#returnourgirls” with a sad face on social media.

Damn, that had to just bring procol harem to their knees in fear!

If only our Muslim appeasers would realize that with Islam, everything is offensive and deserving of death, even Muslims attending morning prayers of submission.

Most likely scenario, yes... followed closely by internecine violence.
