SNIPPET: “MAIDUGURI, Nigeria — The leader of a radical Islamic sect in northern Nigeria has been killed in police detention hours after being captured by the security forces, a police spokesman said on Thursday.

“He has been killed. You can come and see his body at the state police command headquarters,” said Isa Azare, spokesman for the police command in the northern city of Maiduguri.

Earlier in the day Nigerian security forces captured the leader of a radical Islamic sect responsible for days of clashes which have killed more than 180 people.”

SNIPPET: “President Umaru Yar’Adua said intelligence agencies had been tracking the group, sometimes referred to as the “Nigerian Taliban,” for years and that its members were procuring arms and learning to make bombs to force their views on Nigerians.

He ordered the security forces to take all necessary action to “contain them once and for all.””
