YugoRocketsFan Posted December 25, 2011 Report Share Posted December 25, 2011 LAGOS, Nigeria—Attacks across Nigeria by a radical Muslim sect killed at least 39 people Sunday, with the majority dying on the steps of a Catholic church in a massive explosion after Christmas Mass. Elsewhere, a bomb exploded amid gunfire in the central Nigeria city of Jos and a suicide car bomber attacked the military in the nation's northeast as part of an apparently coordinated assault by the sect known as Boko Haram. The Christmas Day violence, denounced by world leaders and the Vatican, showed the threat of the widening insurrection posed by Boko Haram against Nigeria's weak central government. Despite a recent paramilitary crackdown against the sect in the oil-rich nation, it appears that Africa's most populous nation remains unable to stop the threat. "These are cowardly attacks on families gathered in peace and prayer to celebrate a day which symbolizes harmony and goodwill towards others," Britain's Foreign Secretary William Hague said in a statement. http://online.wsj.com/article/SB10001424052970203479104577119852331155084.html?mod=googlenews_wsj Religion of peace Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
