Nigeria: Islamic jihadists murder two bakers as their leader calls for global jihad

Might as well start with the bakers. Then the jihadis can keep their weight down as they wage war on the rest of the world. More on this story. "Gunmen kill five in Borno as sect leader speaks on global Jihad," from Osun Defender, December 1:

Gunmen suspected to be Boko Haram sect members launched another attack yesterday in the peace loving Damasak, the headquarters of Mobbar Local Government Area of Borno State, killing two bakers, one of them an indegene of Michika Council area of Adamawa State; an Igbo man and two others suspected to be Immigration and Custom officers.
In another development, the Nigeria Army yesterday said it demolished a fourth bomb factory in Kaduna State, just as it arrested a 60-year old suspected owner of the factory in Zaria, Kaduna State. Damasak is a boarder town with Niger Republic and about 120 kilometres away from Maiduguri, the state capital.

The killing, Saturday Vanguard learnt came barely two weeks after Governor Kashim Shettima visited some communities in the area which were ravaged by flood, and almost 24 hours after one of their own who also hailed from Damasak, the Chief of Staff, Government House Maiduguri, Alhaji Abu Kyari paid the affected Communities a sympathy visit .

Saturday Vanguard gathered that the gunmen numbering about six came in a Jeep at about 7am yesterday and opened fire at their victims before they fled without being arrested.

When contacted on phone, the Police Commissioner, Mr. Abdullahi Yuguda could not be reached, but the Information Officer of the Council, Mallam Babagana Mustapha told Saturday Vanguard that, six gunmen suspected to be terrorists laid ambush at Damasak yesterday morning, killing two Michika boys, one Igbo man and two security men suspected to be an Immigration and Custom officers.

Reacting on the demolition of a bomb factory in Zaria, Assistant Army Public Relations Officer, 1st Division of the Nigeria Army, Kaduna, Col. Sani Usman said the raid was carried out by a combined team of the Army, Police and the State Security Service, SSS, adding that one Umaru Mohammed, 60 was arrested in connection with the factory.

This was even as Reuters quoted the leader of Nigeria’s Boko Haram as expressing solidarity with global Islamist fighters, saying the US and Britain “should witness that we are with our mujahideen brothers,” in a video posted Thursday, SITE monitoring group said.

According to SITE, a US-based organisation, Abubakar Shekau gave the speech in Arabic in a 39-minute video posted to jihadist forums. It was not clear when it was recorded.

”The world should witness, and America, Britain, Nigeria and other crusaders, meaning America and Britain, should witness, and the Jews of Israel who are killing the Muslims in Palestine should witness… that we are with our mujahideen brothers in the cause of Allah everywhere,” a translation by site said.

The video makes particular reference to global events, with Shekau saluting fighters in the Maghreb region of northern Africa, “the Islamic state in Mali,” Somalia, Libya, Afghanistan, Iraq, Pakistan, Yemen and “our brothers and sheikhs in usurped Palestine.

”O Britain, America, Israel and Nigeria: Don’t think that jihad stops with the death of imams,” Shekau says, according to SITE. “Because imams are individuals. Jihad started now, jihad started now, O enemies of Allah.”

But Col Usman said, “following a tip-off from well meaning citizens of this country, a combined team of troops of the Nigerian Army, elements of the Nigeria Police Force and Department of State Security carried out a cordon and search operation at Kwanar Shahada, Jushin Ciki, Zaria city, Kaduna State yesterday, (Thursday) from 1.30am to 8.00am.

“During the operation, a two bedroom bungalow used as bomb making factory was discovered in which Improvised Explosive Devices, IEDs, in stage one state of readiness and several IED making components were also recovered.

Other weapons recovered include 17 Sensor Mechanical Timers, Remote control, 11 primed suicide bomber’s vests, 36 primed IEDS in Bobo cans and one military kitbag with support items like saw, hammer, cello tapes and gums. Others are, two gallons of paint containing prepared IEDS, two gallons of Turkey oil brand with prepared IEDs, seven rolls of wires of various lengths and one bag of containing several sensors as well as 25 ( nine – volts) batteries....

"..opened fire at their victims before they fled without being arrested."

Again, the same old mohammedan cowards' tactics:

1- Ambush, shoot unarmed civilians then, run like the mohammedan cowards we are.
2- If you get caught, start whining, play the victim card or... play dead, like our glorious prophet used to do.

You wrote, of the typical Mohammedan modus operandi - "1- Ambush, shoot unarmed civilians then, run like the mohammedan cowards we are.
2- If you get caught, start whining, play the victim card".

Yup.

There's an Israeli animated cartoon that simply skewers this behaviour pattern.

http://westbankmama.wordpress.com/2012/11/29/the-simple-truth/

Though as one person pointed out, commenting upon it, it would have made a better analogy had the little bully been doing stuff that was clearly visible as hurtful/ dangerous.

I would have shown the little Hamasnik bully throwing rocks, or hitting the kid who represents Israel, with a stick, or whipping out a concealed flick knife.

Nigeria: Islamic jihadists murder two bakers as their leader calls for global jihad
..........................

Jihad *against bakers*. God, I hate Islam.

Might as well start with the bakers. Then the jihadis can keep their weight down as they wage war on the rest of the world.
..........................

Well, yeah. Or they can just go hungry because they've destroyed so much of the food supply. Then when the West tries to help, they can kill aid workers. It also offers a nifty excuse for piracy and kidnapping—the poor dears were just desperate!

Hey, it's worked so well in the Horn of Africa and the Sahel...

In another development, the Nigeria Army yesterday said it demolished a fourth bomb factory in Kaduna State, just as it arrested a 60-year old suspected owner of the factory in Zaria, Kaduna State...
..........................

Well, the bakeries may be in trouble, but it sounds like the bomb making factories are doing just fine...

You observed, sarcastically - "the bakeries may be in trouble, but it sounds like the bomb making factories are doing just fine."

Remember how Marisol always used to say , 'Jihad causes poverty'?

I spent a couple of hours yesterday at the Bangkok Post website, going through the list of jihad attacks that took place in the south of Thailand in October and November.

One involved the detonation of a bomb on train tracks as a train was passing.

http://www.bangkokpost.com/news/security/321849/raiway-bomb-kills-1-wounds-20-in-narathiwat

Bomb kills 1, wounds 20 in South

"The huge explosion badly damaged the train's passenger cars, killing one and wounding nearly 20 people.

"The killed was a defence volunteer who was not yet identified. The wounded included one railway police officer and two train ticket inspectors.
The rest of the wounded were passengers.

"Four or five of them had their legs or arms cut off by the shrapnel"

(and if they survive, they will be permanently disabled, less able to earn a living).

The immediate effect was disruption of train services and therefore of economic and other activity.

But there will also be the expense of replacing the damaged carriages and repairing the train line. It all adds up, over and over and over, as explained here:

http://www.bangkokpost.com/news/security/322451/bomb-blasts-hurt-civilian-four-soldiers

"Bomb blasts hurt civilian, four soldiers

"...The southern railway has been hit by about 100 insurgent attacks during the past eight years, costing the State Railway of Thailand more than 100 million baht....",

'More than 100 million baht'.

That is money that Thailand should not have had to spend. No jihadis blowing up track and trains, would have meant no money having to be spent on repairing the damage.

Another attack involved the burning down of a school classroom, which meant that brand-new computing equipment was destroyed.

http://www.bangkokpost.com/news/security/323703/fire-hits-school-in-pattani

Fire hits school in Pattani

"A building of Bang Maruat School in Panare district of Pattani province was burned down early Thursday morning, also causing the loss of 20 computers, 80 brand new tablet computers and other teaching equipment...".

Because of attacks on schools and teachers, schools are shut down and children's education is disrupted (imagine the knock-on effect)

http://www.bangkokpost.com/news/security/323196/hundreds-of-thai-schools-shut-over-militant-attacks

Hundreds of Thai schools shut over militant attacks

And, of course, a sly Muslim playing goodcop insinuates that what's really needed is to *Islamise* the schools...

http://www.bangkokpost.com/news/security/323605/south-school-closures-risk-ire-of-parents

"Mr Ahmad said more security is clearly needed, but closing schools is not the answer.

"**Developing a school curriculum that better fits the Muslim community** {my emphasis - dda} would be a better strategy than closures, he said."...

Suure it would. Numb the kids' brains by turning the state-financed schools into madrasas...

Yup, jihad causes poverty.
