Boko Haram attacks northeastern Nigerian city, dozens killed

Boko Haram seems unstoppble, at least by Nigerian authorities.  The Islamic terror group has been busy this weekend, while FrankenKerry is 1000 miles away in Lagos arm-twisting promises of non-violence from the Presidential candidates.  Glad to see he has his priorities straight as usual.


In fierce fighting Sunday that killed more than 200 combatants, Nigerian troops clashed with Islamic extremists who attacked Maiduguri, the biggest city in northeastern Nigeria, from three fronts.

At the same time the insurgents continued scorched-earth attacks on villages some 125 miles to the south in Adamawa state, slitting throats of residents, looting and burning homes and abducting dozens of trapped women and children, according to Vandu Kainu and other escaping survivors.

Adamawa state legislator Adamu Kamale appealed for troops to protect civilians in Michika, where six villages are under attack. "The attacks have continued since Friday with no presence of security operatives," he complained.
