Suicide car bombers targeted the offices of This Day in >the capital, Abuja, and northern city of Kaduna last Thursday, killing at >least five people in apparently coordinated strikes. Boko Haram has been >fighting a low-level insurgency for more than two years and has become the >main security threat facing Africa’s top oil producer, although most attacks >have been in the largely Muslim north, far from southern oil fields. > >The sect, which wants to impose an Islamic state on Nigeria’s more or less >evenly mixed population of Muslim and Christians, has been blamed for hundreds >of killings since its uprising against the government in 2009. It had not >previously targeted the press in its bombing campaign, although last October >it killed a reporter for state TV who the sect said was an informant to >President Goodluck Jonathan’s administration. > >The video posted on the Internet opens with a Koranic song and a drawing of >the Koran sitting on two crossed AK-47s. A banner in the northern Hausa >language says: “Message from Jama’atu Ahlis Sunna Lidda’awati Wal-Jihadl (Boko >Haram’s full name): on why we attacked ThisDay”. It then plays a video tape >shot from a distance of the ThisDay Abuja office, which promptly explodes into >a ball of flames and grey smoke – that suggests the sect had a cameraman set >up in anticipation of the strike. “We attacked Thisday because we will never >forget or forgive anyone who abused our Prophet,” a voice booms in Hausa. >ThisDay angered Muslims a decade ago when one of its columnists suggested the >Prophet Mohammad might have wanted to marry a beauty queen, an event to which >the tape alludes. > >JIHAD VIDEO >The statement rages against local and international media for carrying reports >by Nigeria’s government that a faction of the sect was behind the kidnapping >of two hostages – one British, the other Italian – who were killed by their >captors during a botched March rescue attempt. “We said we have nothing to do >with it, yet these media houses reported that we were responsible for the >incident,” it said, also complaining about reports, which it denied, that its >spokesman Abu Qaqa had been captured. It warned it would attack other media >houses soon, listing several local papers as next on the list and several >international media as “on the verge of jointing them”. > >It was at least the fifth video that Boko Haram had posted this year, mostly >from self-proclaimed leader Abubakar Shekau. Shekau appears in this one, too, >waving an AK-47 around. From being a secretive sect in the shadows, the group >has gradually raised its media profile, which may explain both the >proliferation of home videos and growing attacks on media. A spate of attacks >in the past few days, including one against Christians in the north that >killed 19 people on Sunday, dampened hopes that tighter security in the north >had drastically reduced the sect’s capability. Nigerian forces raided the >hideout of Islamist militants in Kano on Tuesday, killing the suspected >mastermind of an attack on Christian worshippers in a gun battle that lasted >several hours in the main northern city. – Reuters > >[Non-text portions of this message have been removed] > > > > >
