Boko Haram pledged allegiance to the Islamic State last February, and in April renamed itself the Islamic State in West Africa. They have been driven back from some of the territory they controlled at the beginning of this year, but are still able to commit mass murder for their bloodthirsty god.
“Blast kills around 50 in Nigeria’s Borno state,” Reuters, August 11, 2015:
A bomb attack on a packed market in northeastern Nigeria bearing the hallmarks of Boko Haram killed around 50 people on Tuesday, sources said.
The explosion struck at around 1.30 p.m. (8.30 p.m. ET) in the town of Sabon Gari in Borno state, which is the heartland of the Islamist militant group.
“So far, 52 people are injured, 47 dead persons have been removed from the market,” Umar Kidda, a member of a civilian viligante group, told Reuters by phone.
Kidda, who witnessed bodies being taken away, said the market was busy when the explosion occurred.
A military source who declined to be named said around 50 people had been killed.
Boko Haram has killed thousands of people during a six-year armed campaign to set up an Islamic state in northeastern Nigeria.
According to a Reuters tally, more than 600 people have been killed in raids and bombings by the insurgents since President Muhammadu Buhari took office on May 29, promising to crush the group.
At the start of the year Boko Haram controlled territory about the size of Belgium….

These Islamic murderers are running wild throughout the world and no government is willing to face them and neutralize them. What will it take the world to finally wake up!! Thousands are dying and the US government is bickering with people whether these murderers are Muslims or not and whether they are following real Islam or fake Islam!s. Sign of total moral depravity of the West!!

No word on who carried the bomb/wore the suicide vest or on who ignited it. There’s been stories from there that they get hold of a mentally retarded child, fit him or her up, send him or her into the crowded market, and when the ‘watcher’ deems the carrier is in a ‘good’ (with many people around) spot s/he detonates the bomb. Does anybody know about this?
Angemon says
Another day, another news of an islamic bomb attack.

Whenever pious Muslims decide to serve Allah as jihadists, the result always resembles what is called ‘GENOCIDE’ by the modern world.
Jihad is not subject to the Geneva Conventions.
