BREAKING NEWS: Gunmen Invade Birnin Gwari Township In Kaduna State, Bomb Police Station And Banks
January 31, 2013 - 01:54, SaharaReporters has just received information from students living in  Birnin Gwari town in Kaduna State to the effect that heavily armed bandits took over the  Police Station in the area and burnt it down after about two hours of gun battle with troops.
The police station is completely razed in an attack that started at midnight, according to the source.
Banks and other public buildings were reportedly  bombed along with the Police Station.
The source who claimed to have witnessed the attack said the  bandits also planted Improvised Explosive Devices (IEDs) that exploded  simultaneously in addition to  sporadic gun shots.
The source also said that the whole area was sealed by the unidentified gunmen whose number could not be ascertained because of they came in the dark.  Several police officers and  some of the  bandits are believed to have died in the attack  which  lasted about two hours.
“We are trapped, and under fear, we need  military support to, if not there is no certainty on our lives. As I speak, they are still firing”, he said.
In October, 2012, bandits invaded the town killing some 20 worshippers leaving a  Mosque in an early morning raid in the area.
 Calls made to spokespersons of the army and police were not returned as at the time of this report.http:///WSiyPD

I thought bokoharam had seized fire? Armed bandit attackin police station spells out bokoharam. As weird as this may sound, since the govt can guarantee lives and properties in the north, and innocent Nigerians are being wasted regularly, i think cowardly goin into negotiation wit these terrorists is the best option.
