Nigeria: Death toll from Islamic jihadists’ car bomb in Abuja now 19

May 3, 2014 9:39 am By Robert Spencer

boko-haram“The latest car bomb comes five days before the World Economic Forum is scheduled to start in Abuja. Nigeria’s government had announced that 6,000 soldiers and police would be deployed to protect next week’s summit but with world leaders including China’s premier to attend, the insecurity now means the event may not go ahead.” And so the savages score yet another victory over civilization.

An update on this story. “Car bomb kills at least 19 in Nigeria, Boko Haram claims responsibility,” by Martin Cuddihy, ABC Australia, May 3, 2014 (thanks to Twostellas):

The Nigerian Islamist Organisation Boko Haram has claimed responsibility for a deadly car bombing in the capital Abuja.

At least 19 people are dead and more than 60 others have been taken to hospital.

Witnesses say a car drove close to a police checkpoint, where a man jumped out and started running and then the bomb exploded.

Witness Lateef Adebayo says there was a loud blast then a ball of fire.

“There were many dead bodies and ambulances were rushing there,” he said.

The attack happened just over the road from a busy bus station where Boko Haram set off another explosive on April 14, killing 70 people.

The terrorist organisation has been exceptionally active lately – along with the two car bombs, fighters from Boko Haram are holding close to 200 school girls captive after abducting them at gun point almost three weeks ago.

The government and the military have been under intense pressure to step up security in the country following the April 14 attack and the mass abduction of the girls.

The latest car bomb comes five days before the World Economic Forum is scheduled to start in Abuja.

Nigeria’s government had announced that 6,000 soldiers and police would be deployed to protect next week’s summit but with world leaders including China’s premier to attend, the insecurity now means the event may not go ahead.

    This is yet another sad and tragic example of the great amount of harm that is done by the those who are engaged in the evil and murderness madness of the violence of the militant jihadism of Islam, Sura 9:111. 47:4. This is explained ,in part, in the Bible. For the Bible in Ecclesiates 9:3 teaches “The hearts of men are full of evil and there is madness in their hearts while they live, and afterwards they join the dead.” [NIV]

    “The terrorist organisation has been exceptionally active lately”

    The last gasp of a dying beast is always the most dangerous one.
    Today, all islamic terrorist organizations are indeed exceptionally active. They know the end is coming. Islam *is* dying.

    Notice that this same group, Boko Haram, was also guilty of kidnapping over 200 Christian teenage girls, forcibly converting them to slavery, and selling them as child brides or slaves. This atrocity even has gotten attention on CNN and CBS. Even left-wing feminists should concerned about this.

      The MSM brought to the forefront that Boko Haram may have taken a few Muslims girls as well as if to imply this is not really about Islam.
