[size=18pt]Al-Qaida offers to arm and train Nigerian Muslims[/size] By MAAMOUN YOUSSEF The Associated Press Monday, February 1, 2010; 1:03 PM CAIRO -- The leader of North Africa's al-Qaida branch offered training and weapons to Nigeria's Muslims to fight the Christians there following an outbreak of sectarian violence. Abdelmalek Droukdel, leader of al-Qaida in the Islamic Maghreb, in a statement posted on an Islamic Web site Monday, accused the Nigeria's Christians of killing hundreds of Muslims in a "Crusader war." Droukdel promised to train Muslim youths, supply them with weapons and equipment. "We are ready to train your sons on using weapons, support them with men, weapons, ammunition and equipment to enable them defend themselves," he said, exhorting Nigerians to "push your sons into the fields of jihad to become the fighting vanguard in defense of the Muslims' blood and honor." Violence between Christians and Muslims in central Nigeria left 326 people dead late last month, but Droukdel, also known as Abu Musab Abdul-Wadud, maintained that over 500 innocent Muslims were killed. He criticized Western and Arab media for portraying the events in Nigeria as sectarian, tribal or economic but "it is a clear massacre against Muslims only." Droukdel told Nigerian Muslims that "the only way to get end these continued massacres and to restore your rights , is to prepare yourselves for the holy war and the best example for you is your brothers in Somalia who confront the Ethiopian Crusaders." Sectarian violence in this central region of Nigeria has left thousands dead over the past decade. The latest outbreak came despite the Nigerian government's efforts to quell religious extremism in the West African country. There are conflicting accounts about what unleashed the recent bloodshed. According to a state police commissioner, skirmishes began after Muslim youths set a Christian church ablaze, but Muslim leaders denied that. Muslims say it began with an argument over the rebuilding of a Muslim home in a predominantly Christian neighborhood that had been destroyed in November 2008. Al-Qaida in North Africa, which holds French hostage Pierre Camatte for more than two months, demanded the release of four of its members arrested by Mali several months ago, in exchange for his release. The group operates mainly in Algeria, but has ranged widely across the vast Sahara desert to carry out operations in Mali, Mauritania and elsewhere. Source: Washington Post |

They can always succeed. Since we have no combatant govt. Those who can stop them are being denied the top govt posts. Those who will support them are our govt officials. Our borders in the North are no where near secure. US didnt help matter by adding us to the terror list. We are already involved , thanks to abdulmutallab. US will surely come to take over soon. That could be good for Nigerians anyway since those in charge are arseholes. |

RichyBlacK: Think that was discovered as a lie, and thence the lax police commissioner was "redeployed" to other place (or State, I don't know exactly).
Is WP that biased? Wonder o!  |

And who are the Muslims that need al qaeda's help!!!!! Al- qaeda are set of mis guided people and they can end up brainwashing their misguided fellows. Islam Never teaches d killing of the just either being a xtian,muslim or Jew.There is nothing like Jihad in the teaching of al-qaeda but a blood drinking demon. Al-qaeda and every other people fighting in the name of religion are completely misguided and very far frm the truth. All those people killing fellow human for no reasonable cos in the name of religion or Jihad will hav them selves blame b4 God on the judgment day. A real muslim will find it very difficult to kill mosquitoe without seeking forgiveness frm God let alone fellow human. |
