Nigeria interrogates terrorist suspects

November 14, 2007

Nigeria's secret police are said to be interrogating suspects arrested in connection with their alleged links with Al-Qaeda. Some media reports suggest that 10 men were apprehended. The State Security Services are not divulging much information at this stage due to the sensitivity of the case.
But sources within the service have told Nigerian reporters that they are investigating a wider web around the suspects already in their custody. Meanwhile, Ademole Adeyemo, political editor for This Day, who broke the story, says radical Islamists do not have many supporters in Nigeria.
Despite growing concern over possible threats by Al-Qaeda in Africa's most populated country, the Nigerian authority has to date not been able to provide substantial evidence to this effect. But religious tensions in the Muslim dominated north have fuelled these worries.
Thousands died when riots broke out in 2002 after 12 states in the north insisted on implementing a stricter version of Islamic Sharia law. But Adeyome says it is unlikely that groups linked to Al-Qaeda will win much ground in the country.
Political analysts in Nigeria say Islamic extremists do not have a large support base in the Muslim dominated north of the country. This follows the arrest in the north of Nigeria of several suspects believed to have ties with the Al-Qaeda network. The suspects are expected to appear in court this week.
