US Offers $23m For Boko-Haram Leader, Shekau, 4 Others by earthgreeners(m): 7:57pm On Jun 03, 2013
WASHINGTON – In an unprecedented move, the United States on Monday posted up to $23 million in rewards to help capture five leaders of militant groups which have spread terror in west Africa and Nigeria.
The highest reward of up to $7 million is offered for the leader of Nigeria’s Boko Haram extremists, Abubakar Shekau, while $5 million each was posted for Al-Qaeda veteran Mokhtar Belmokhtar and Yahya Abou Al-Hammam, a top figure in Al-Qaeda in the Islamic Maghreb, US officials said.

The downside to this is that it elevates Shekau in the eyes of jihadists and their sympathisers in the Middle East which will mean more help; financial, materiel and men.

USA is simply bringing dis fuctards to limelight n further sympathy frm their fellow jihadist. And their next plan is to establish a military base in northern Nigeria. Endtime, one world government in the making.

Say what you may, but I don't like the fact that America stays in other countries' business!

What they are doing seems good but trust me, there's always a catch! Smh!

I'm not buying this stunt!

4 Play: The downside to this is that it elevates Shekau in the eyes of jihadists and their sympathisers in the Middle East which will mean more help; financial, materiel and men.

The upside side is that it places tremendous pressure on Shekau; he will find it hard to fully trust his close allies, he will be living paranoid, and he will go more into seclusion...making it harder to receive/accept "financial, materiel, and men" cos you nor know who wan set u up to get dat doe
