Boko Haram Commits 'Deadliest' Attack Yet with 2,000 Feared Dead

Carrie Dedrick | Editor, ChristianHeadlines.com | Monday, January 12, 2015

Terror group Boko Haram has reportedly orchestrated its most devastating attack yet. According to CNN, Boko Haram militants stormed Baga and its surrounding villages in armored vehicles, opening fire on any residents in their path.

Local officials said that the militants fired indiscriminately, leaving many dead. Reported death tolls ranged from the hundreds to 2,000; the actual death toll will be confirmed when authorities complete head counts for the attacked villages.

The attack began Jan. 3 and continued throughout last weekend.

A statement from Amnesty International said, "The attack on Baga and surrounding towns looks as if it could be Boko Haram's deadliest act.”

Musa Bukar, local government chairman in Baga described the scene saying, "Dead bodies litter the bushes in the area and it is still no‎t safe to go and pick them (up) for burial. Some people who hid in their homes were burned alive."

Following the vicious attacks in Baga, Boko Haram continued its violent rampage in Borno state. The group is believed to be responsible for another attack, this time at a crowded marketplace in Maiduguri. Christian Today reports Boko Haram strapped explosives onto the body of a 10-year-old girl, which detonated at the market killing at least 19 people.

Reported on this site elsewhere I am sure, this is one story i have seen only very passing mention of on the network news. If accurate it is the biggest mass casualty terror attack since 9-11. Interestingly it happened about the same time as the events in France. The Jihad seems to be gathering momentum.

...as the networks debate how to report Black African muslims are killing thousands.

Oh wait, maybe they'll interpret this as must more black on black crime and refrain from reporting at all?

Its OK though. Boko Haram does not represent the Religion of Peace.

Just ignore and pretend not to notice their shouts of Alahu Akbar!

Beaucoup Harem does not CARE about lives, black or otherwise, as this is just an inconvenience for the Cult of Death they maintain. All these live people are just getting in the way of their real objective, which is to indulge their psychological lift they get from destroying and demolishing any civilized activity they come upon.

I have long since concluded that the Muslim government of Nigeria supports Boko Haram. They never seem to do anything in response to these constant, murderous attacks.

Now Boko Haram is said to have “armored vehicles” in this latest attack? Does anyone believe that the Nigerian government can’t find them? Or that Hussein Obama couldn’t have done something long before this, as he has whenever he sees a chance to help the Muslims somewhere?

At the state level they very much do or are thoroughly intimidated by BH. At the national level the politicos are so totally corrupt they just don't care as their goal is just stuffing off shore accounts with billions of dollars. The Nigerian armed forces and various police agencies are some Klansman's idea of what black military and police organizations are. Corrupt, cowardly, incompetent and now thoroughly penetrated by Muslims or paid agents.

The MSM is steadfastly ignoring this story. It makes muslims look bad. No more hashtags from the Moose about it either.
