Zakzaky Blames Military For Potiskum Massacre! by tit(f): 4:08pm On Nov 05, 2014
LEADER of the Islamic Movement in Nigeria, Sheikh Ibraheem Zakzaky, has blamed the Nigerian military for the bomb blast, which killed about 28 people and injured 80 in Potiskum,Yobe State, on Monday.

Zakzaky, who spoke during the 11th day of Muharram Majlis at the Husainiyyah Baqiyyatullah, Zaria, on Monday, explained that the bomb was thrown into the dispersing crowd by the soldiers and later came with armoured vehicles and opened fire on the already-bereaved people at the Fudiyyah school, adding that he had earlier raised the alarm over a planned attack on the Ashura procession in Zaria.

The cleric said the present government was “a bunch of wild beasts, with insatiable appetite for the citizens’ blood. They killed mostly children, dramatising the tragedy of Karbala. What we have is a heartless government backed by wild beast military with licence to kill. They cannot blame this atrocity on any group. We know it is them.”

He alleged that the attack in Potiskum was preplanned, just as they did in Zaria on Quds Day, adding that the movement had prior knowledge of the plan to be executed in Zaria, but that it was least expected in Potiskum.

The plan, he alleged was masterminded by Israel and United States to clampdown on the Islamic movement.

“Part of the plan was to use poisonous gas on the people during the procession from Tudunwada area up to Kwangila in addition to planned bomb attack during the Zaria Ashura procession. Let them come out and dispute this claim.

“They are still bent on executing it, but we least expected an attack on the Potiskum procession. These people can do anything to satisfy their masters,” he said.

Na wa o. Funny enough his people would believe him wholeheartedly without asking him the right question. Maybe he his trying to avoid the Shia vs Sunni war that is ravaging arab countries. This is a fat lie, and it is really disgusting. Where are his prooves.
