KANO, Nigeria — A Nigerian Islamist sect that staged a series of deadly attacks mainly in the country's north on Wednesday threatened "fiercer" attacks and said it would not enter into talks with the government.

The Boko Haram group, which had two days ago laid down conditions for any talks with government, also disclosed for the first time that it had links with Islamists in Somalia.

"Dialogue with President (Goodluck) Jonathan has collapsed," because of the statements made by the inspector general of police and governor of northern Borno state, the group said.

It said it was angered by the police chief Hafiz Ringim's declaration that "the days of Boko Haram are numbered".

"Very soon, we will wage jihad, We want to make it known that our jihadists have arrived in Nigeria from Somalia where they received real training on warfare from our brethren who made that country ungovernable, ," said the group in a handwritten statement.

"This time round, our attacks will be fiercer and wider than they have been," it said, adding it will target all northern states and the country's capital Abuja.

The statement in Hausa, a widely spoken language in the north, was anonymously delivered to journalists in the northeastern city of Maiduguri, capital of Borno state, where the attacks are concentrated.

The sect admitted links with a foreign Islamist group connected to Al-Qaeda, although security experts had already speculated that it had established ties with Islamists in north Africa.

The statement purportedly emanated from "Jama'atu Ahlis-sunnah lidda'ati wal Jihad", another name the sect calls itself.

Boko Haram had on Monday issued a statement setting conditions for ceasefire and dialogue with the government, which included the strict application of sharia law in the 12 predominately Muslim states in the north.

Also known as the Nigerian Talibans, the group launched an uprising in 2009 which was put down by a brutal military assault that left hundreds dead.

The sect, which has pushed for the creation of an Islamic state, has been blamed for shootings of police and community leaders, bomb blasts and raids on churches, police stations and a prison.

"This time round, our attacks will be fiercer and wider than they have been," it said,. . .

They should ask Buhari, He should maybe know better

POTUT:

Nigeria is not a nation, we are just pretending to be one.
We heard that other human beings are forming countries and issuing visas and we thought we should do the same too.

The devil is crawling inside people's heads and they suddenly think they have a divine mandate. RUbbish!

Nigerians be smart and beware.

the north is full of muslims and it is muslims that these un-islamic boko haram has being targetting and killing.i doubt how someone who claims to be northerner and muslim can kill fellow notherners and fellow muslims.that does not make sense to me.there is something fishy here!

Nigerians be smart enough to realize that boko haram can be the invention of the CIA and the mossad.if you're well informed you will not ask how can americans support and nurture an "islamist" group.the CIA nurtured the "mujahideen" and Bin Laden in afghanistan to fight the soviets.they created bin laden and made him rise to who he was and what he became known for.later when he turned to bite the hand that fed him,his tongue was cut-off in the name of the same terrorism they taught him.

the same americans have given a deadline of 2015 for the disintegration of nigeria as one entity.this is the time nigerians must be wise and read very carefully between the lines.something dirty from the outside is being brewed for Nigeria.the west led by america have plans for nigeria.suddenly a foolish group that started as a movement against western education (a move that islamically does not even make sense since islam teaches its adherents to gain knowledge) is rising to fame as a force to reckon with.you can see that the words of this group is now source of news for western medias.the western media would be used to execute the plan if this group is a CIA invention.

they have a group in the north causing mayhem and panic and they also have ways to make the south ungovernable.i do not see the reason why any northerner would want to make nigeria "ungovernable" by spreading chaos in his own backyard and against his own people.those words are not issued from the balls of boko haram.those words are bigger than boko haram.someone big outside nigeria must be pushing them to say these things with heavy money being put into play.

these are my 2 cents from what ive read so far and observed.i may be right 100% or i maybe wrong 100%.lets be careful.dont jump into conclusions.these are times we should be united and prove the 2015 deadline wrong and dead.otherwise we will suffer for it to execute the plans of the foreigners.our lives and properties and our country will waste if we are not careful and united in these difficult times.

me thinks this is a problem created and nurtured by utter disregard for the needs of Northerners by the elite in the North.
why would you flaunt wealth and riches before a man who has nothing to eat all day with sickly and undernourished family? this is the root of the violence in the middle east too.
the tone is set, and if nothing is done, it could find its way to the south west too.
this is the result of silencing the under-privileged in the face careless wealth and opulence. IF YOU ASK THE BOKO HARAMISTS, THIS IS REVOLUTION TO THEM, NOTHING MORE!

igbo boy:


my guy no talk if u no get anything reasonable to add,

muslim go say na education, but are they the only ones that have illiterates? Besides al-zawhari na doctor

muslim go say na poverty, but are they the only ones that have poverty? besides osama was from a rich family so is mutallab

the problem we all know is in the book itself, its in the ideology, its in the teachings, OZUGO

Iysayah:

Yeah, and Bin Laden is the one blowing himself up in the middle east? right?
what your couldnt do but sit with your computer and make all the sorry noise about corruption is what the illiterate Boko haramist is doing with his bomb up North.
what you all do in Nigeria is sit and complain about some corrupt few running the nation, why would the Somali militants not find it easy recruiting people who are tired of complaints and want an ungovernable nation.
MEND did theirs, was it book my friend? was it an ideology? was it christianity?
of course Bankole is away with 10 whooping billion, who brings him to justice after the drama is over? You dont need convincing, just go up North.
