Abubakar Shekau[b][/b]
Shekau's inclusion recognizes the growing tide of Islamist militancy in West Africa. For the last four years, he has led Boko Haram, a Salafist group in northern Nigeria that has begun cooperating with other groups as far away as Mali.
Opinion: Should U.S. fear Boko Haram?
But its main focus remains churches and other Christian targets, the police and the moderate Muslim establishment in northern Nigeria. Just last month, suspected Boko Haram fighters broke into a college in Yobe state and murdered more than 40 students as they slept.
In 2010, Shekau warned that the group would attack Western interests and the following year it carried out its first suicide bombing -- against U.N. offices in the capital, Abuja -- killing at least 23 people. The group has also kidnapped and killed several Western hostages. While Bokko Haram is not an affiliate of al Qaeda, Shekau has made clear his sympathy for the group's goals. The United States made him a Specially Designated Global Terrorist in June 2012.
Nigeria's peace 'the peace of a graveyard'
Two caveats here: there are conflicting reports that Shekau was killed in an August raid by Nigerian special forces. But a video that appeared weeks later purported to show he was still alive. And Boko Haram's leadership structure is opaque at best; it's unclear how much control Shekau himself exerts over its fighters.
John Campbell, a former U.S. ambassador to Nigeria, wrote last month that so far "Boko Haram has shown little interest in the world outside of Nigeria and the Sahel. But the situation in Nigeria is dynamic, and it is possible that closer ties will develop between al-Qaeda and elements of Boko Haram."
"Boko Haram" means "Western education is forbidden" and reflects the group's utter rejection of modernity and Western influences.
"Hostile to democracy, modern science, and Western education as non-Islamic, it is highly diffuse," Campbell said of the group. "For some adherents, religious, even apocalyptic, themes appear to be paramount."
Reward offered by the U.S. government: up to $7 million for his location.

That means Nigerian security agencies have killed the 9th most dangerous terrorist, and perhaps should be seen as the 9th most efficient force in the world.

Sometimes I feel these oyibo people are our problem. What do they intend to achieve by mystifying Shekau? Or are they pretending to be ignorant of d widely circulated claim about his death? Well we know he is death. God punish satan

Peeping...

Just in case you dont know there are US Military bases in Germany and South Korea

How about George Bush that bombarded Iraq throwing bombs on market places, hospitals and civilian buildings all in the name of looking for weapons of mass destruction that they never saw through out their invasion of that country? Is terrorism now only peculiar to Islamic militants type of attacks? I wish the world could be sensible enough to know that the western media are just peddling falsehood the type that suit their whims and caprice. The numbers of civilian killed by the various unprovoked attack on different countries by the Americans have outnumbered 10th times what these so-called terrorists have done. I am truly confused about the dictionary meaning of TERRORISM.
