I think at this precipitous state of deterioration, its safe to adoopt Israel's efficient strategy against terrorists;"if they treaten one of us, we kill 100 of theirs before the international community has a chance to stop us" its a known fact that these gutless reprobates have safe-houses In neigbouring countries like Niger,Chad and cameroon.... Snuff them out and destroy the maniacs......

Burger01: Those foreigners were given traveling warning alerts to volatile northern region of Nigeria!!! What were they after in the north that could be that important than their freaking lives?.. Now, international communities would have excuses to put Nigeria in the bad light of the world... C'mon!!!

One has to wonder why the FG or state government awarded the road contract to foreigners, and why didn't the company employ 9ja workers?




Nigeria foreign workers abducted in Bauchi state


At least six foreign workers have been seized and a security guard shot dead by gunmen who attacked a construction company site in northern Nigeria, officials say.

One of the workers seized was Italian, one was Greek and two others Lebanese.

But UK officials could not confirm a report that another was British.

No-one has admitted the abductions but the Islamist militant group, Boko Haram, has staged a series of attacks in northern Nigeria.

A security guard was killed as the attackers targeted the workers' camp at Jama'are in Bauchi state.

Correspondents say it is the biggest kidnapping in northern Nigeria in recent times.

The kidnapping of foreigners and wealthy Nigerians is common in the oil-rich Niger Delta region, in the south of the country, and has become a lucrative trade for criminals.

Oil workers and other foreign nationals are often targeted because companies pay high ransom money to secure their employees' release, correspondents say.
Police station attacked

Lebanese foreign minister Adnan Mansour said two of those held were from Lebanon.

An Italian and a Greek national were also abducted from the site run by Lebanese-owned firm Setraco, the foreign ministries in Rome and Athens confirmed.

Another of those seized was a Filipino, a union leader at Setraco told the BBC.

The Italian ambassador in Abuja said, "Italy's absolute priority is the safety of its compatriot," Ansa news agency reported.

A UK foreign office spokesman said it was investigating reports of a Briton being kidnapped.

The raid was preceded by an attack on the local police station, when two vehicles were blown up, in the town of Jama'are, some 125 miles (200km) north of the state capital, Bauchi.

The attackers then moved on to a camp belonging to Setraco, killing a guard and seizing the workers. Setraco is currently expanding a major road in the area.

The state capital has itself been attacked several times by Boko Haram, which wants to impose Sharia (Islamic law) across Nigeria.

Earlier this month, nine polio vaccinators were shot dead at two health centres in northern Nigeria.

Some Nigerian Muslim leaders have previously opposed polio vaccinations, claiming they could cause infertility.

Boko Haram has emerged as one of the most prolific militant groups in West Africa, carrying out a large number of low-level attacks but also some more sophisticated attacks.

Shouldn't the company or whoever employed them in that volatile northern Nigeria have provided them with enough security?
Or are they ignorant of the fact that the area is infested with Islamist fundamentalists ( Boko haram and their ilk)? SMDH!

Actually the vast majority of the American drone fleet is used over North America (including the US), and Europe. About a year ago I watched a show in which one of the operators of these drones admitted to the fact of that sometimes they actually zero in on and place on lock random vehicles driving down the highways right here in the US with armed drones, as a means to help train the operators on how to do so when in a real engagement. shocked shocked

That not really a big deal. Not like they going to shoot. I mean naval ships have targeted civlian ships before with there fire control sytems. Of course the wepaons are not ready to fire they just lock on and civlian ships don't have any EW so don't even no they targeted. And drones can not be used over populted areas in amrica or europe.

Some companies prefer to send their own workers to African countries rather than hire African workers. You see this a lot with the Chinese companies I think
