Boko Haram Appears to Be Using Abducted Girls as Suicide Bombers: Experts (#BRINGBACKOURGIRLS)
NBC ^ | 1-15-15 | Alexander Smith

Posted on 01/15/2015 4:20:33 AM PST by SJackson

Three suicide bombings by girls aged as young as 10 suggest that Nigeria's Boko Haram has employed a new tactic of forcing abducted children to blow themselves up, according to experts.

The Islamist sect has been carrying out almost daily killings and kidnappings across northeast Nigeria in a campaign of violence now in its sixth year. Deadly attacks on Saturday and Sunday were carried out by three young female suicide bombers. These came just days after a week-long killing spree by Boko Haram, in which the group torched at least 10 towns leaving around 2,000 people unaccounted for.

It is not clear if the girls were coerced or were even aware they were strapped with explosives, which may have been detonated remotely. But experts say that Boko Haram appears to be using the children it kidnaps — such as the 276 Chibok girls who sparked the #BringBackOurGirls social media campaign — and using them as a readily available supply of suicide bombers.

But it has nothing to do with Islam.

I guess they are bringing back the girls from a certain point of view.

“It is not clear if the girls were coerced or were even aware they were strapped with explosives,”.....

How long did the author ponder this question? Ten y.o. girls, coercion? What are the odds

"What kind of people do this sort of thing?"

People who are demon possessed. As his time runs out, Satan becomes more desperate and his minions become more evil.

It wasn't just her who held up that sign, but just about every lefty in Hollywood as well. Some of them also took to the street in the US and inexplicably yelled at traffic as if some accountant or car mechanic going to work knew how to release them. It was just an incredible example how the left picks and chooses based on their racism and bias.

Anne Hathaway yelling at traffic in L.A. to bring back "our" girls.

Anne Hathaway yelling at traffic to stop Islamic terrorists from killing people in Cananda, Australia, Israel, France, Texas and from killing cops in New York city.

Such big, brave men those Boko Haram guys, eh? Snatch little girls from their families, marry them and deflower them, wrap them in explosives and cover it all up with a burqa and send them on their way. Well, that’s islam in a nutshell.

That’s what happens when you de-humanize groups of people and attach a label to the group, such as Kafir or apostate.

Nothing blocks you from committing monstrous acts against the Kafir or apostate.

Michelle Obama really straightened that out with her ‘#BringBackOurGirls’ tweet.

Obama's words =magic

I strongly suspect that the girl’s lives have become so horrifying, multiple rapes per day, beatings, starvation and etc, that they see the suicide bombing as a way to end the pain.

They are probably easy to convince to do it.

If I were President... the response would appear to be the Wrath of An Angry God.

They probably have volunteers who would rather be blown up than continue living the hell they’ve had as sex slaves for these savages. Heaven is waiting for them.
