Nigeria Boko Haram crisis: Militants 'kill 40' in Monguno

Source: BBC

At least 40 people are reported to have been killed by Islamist militants in the north-east Nigeria town of Monguno.

A local official told a BBC reporter in Abuja that they had been slaughtered; another resident said they were shot.

The killings are said to have happened two days ago, but details are only now emerging.

Monguno, in Borno state, had been overrun and occupied by Boko Haram fighters until they were recently driven out by the Nigerian military.

clue how to "use" our military.

Which means he wants Obama to send troops EVERYWHERE and kill EVERYBODY

The more the world cries out for some killing, like these Haram guys, the harder it is for a mature adult to know what the right thing to do is.

Around 100 killed in 'Boko Haram' attack in NE Nigeria: witnesses

Maiduguri (Nigeria) (AFP) - Suspected Boko Haram militants killed close to 100 people in attacks on homes and mosques in a northeastern Nigerian village, witnesses said Thursday.

"The attackers have killed at least 97 people," a local from Kukawa village, who gave his name as Kolo and who said he had counted the bodies, told AFP.

A fisherman who witnessed Wednesday's attack corroborated the death toll.

"They wiped out the immediate family of my uncle...They killed his children, about five of them, and set his entire house ablaze," Kolo said.
