Onward! Forward to backwardness! An update on this story. "Nigeria's Boko Haram Islamists 'bombed Abuja police HQ'," from BBC News, June 17:
An eyewitness told the BBC everybody was scared after the bombing
There's that subheading again. And yes, bombs will do that.
The Islamist group, Boko Haram, says it carried out Thursday's bombing of Nigeria's police headquarters which left at least six people dead.
The attack comes days after Nigeria's police chief visited the north-eastern town of Maiduguri, where Boko Haram is based and vowed to defeat the group.
The police say one of those who died was a suicide bomber - if confirmed it would be Nigeria's first such attack.
Boko Haram wants to overthrow the state and implement Islamic law.
In 2009, hundreds of Boko Haram supporters, including the group's leader Mohammed Yusuf, were killed after they attacked police stations in Maiduguri and other northern towns.
The group has since reformed and in the past year has killed dozens of police officers, politicians and anyone who criticises it, including Christian preachers and clerics from other Muslim groups.
LOL . . . Win the Future . . . WTF!
WTF?
Don’t you mean BFD?
LOL
I'm sure it would be a BFD to VP Bite-me! LOL
You know, back in the 60’s, Procol Harum seemed fairly peaceful...they were pretty mellow. Some of their music was very good. Trower was a great guitarist.
This change towards violence must have happened after they converted.
Back in 06’, I was part of a group receiving training in Montreal, & one guy in our group was from Nigeria, Musti, who was the Defense Minister’s son.
They are ruthless koranimals. Ruthless.
