•Nigeria to attend anti-terrorists’ summit
From ISAAC ANUMIHE, Abuja
Tuesday, November 15, 2011

[b]The Algerian Deputy Foreign Minister has said intelligence reports showed there is coordination between Boko Haram and the Algerian-based North African branch of al Qaeda.

Boko Haram has killed dozens of people. Western security experts said any link-up with al Qaeda in the Islamic Maghreb (AQIM) could make it a more potent threat, especially to Nigeria’s energy sector.

“We have no doubts that coordination exists between Boko Haram and al Qaeda,” Abdelkader Messahel told reporters. “The way both groups operate and intelligence reports show that there is cooperation.”

AQIM grew out of a conflict in Algeria between the government and Islamist militants. In the past few years it has expanded its activities to include Mali, Niger and Mauritania but was not thought to have reached as far south as Nigeria.

Algeria’s assessment of ties between AQIM and Boko Haram carries authority because Algeria has the biggest intelligence-gathering operation on al Qaeda of any country in the region. It tallies with the view of some in the Nigerian military, who said Boko Haram was increasingly linking up with global jihadist movements.

The sect said it had carried out multiple gun and bomb attacks that killed 65 people in and around Damaturu earlier this month in its deadliest attack yet. Boko Haram also said it was behind a suicide bomb attack on the United Nations building in Abuja, in August this year. At least 23 people were killed and 76 injured in the attack.
It was the first known use in Nigeria of suicide bombing, a tactic commonly used by AQIM inside Algeria. The Algerian Deputy Foreign Minister said that in light of the ties between Boko Haram and AQIM, Nigerian officials were scheduled to attend a regional summit in Mauritania in December to coordinate the fight against al Qaeda.[/b]

Time to call in the drones.

Drones only work when you are dealing with insurgents (Desert dwellers)! You dont want a drone opening fire on a crowded street or neighborhood, do you?

now gaddafi is gone lets see how much longer they'll last.

@ Beaf, Abeg make the drones no reach SS ooooooooo

drones dont open fire, they point and kill!

Please. Al Qaeda is an American thing set up to fund and sponser terrorism in countries they want to invade.

hit yourself on the head, maybe it could start working!

Not surprising at all, afterall I was screaming about this on NL for months, the truth is that Nigerians do not care enough about the situation. By the time the slow-poke Southerners actually realize what going on, it will be too late to collectively take action. SlaveCoast=Niger Area. What a waste, what a disgrace, this SELL OUT Race!

always good to stop and think. don't believe everything you hear
where is the evidence? abdelkader messahel has NO DOUBTS
they said so?
ok IT MUST BE TRUE
they have a set of people in their country they wish to destroy.
so give them a label,a bad name and justify any brutality.
they are just guessing

whatever is happening in Nigeria does not NEED al qaeda's help.
our government is bad enough

Boko haram linked to Al-qaeda? Naija is finished

Whatever, mehn. Anything to wipe out the Jihadists is fine with me.
They should be sure to load up the drones with the BFG9000 cannons.
TOTAL MASSACRE!

It is mindboggling!! I am not in Nigeria yet, I can almost see this moving south in no time. This group has been able to go as far south as Abuja, yet there are so many in the more southern parts of Nigeria who still believe this problem could not spread.

Only two years ago, people could not imagine a Nigerian suicide bomber . . . today it is more than a reality yet people are still unable to grasp the enormity of this.

There is an end for Boko group. it will be here soonest.

These Boko boys are not stupid!!

Should they blow up a bomb in any southern State, that would spell the end of Nigeria as we know it!

moderatorr:

Yes! When they are dropping guided missiles, but dont forget that these Boko Boys are living amongst us everyday! Its not like a group with a camp in the desert somewhere

At least before they can reach the South-East and my South-South brothers, dem don hopefully wipe out the entire Middle Belt as well as their houseboys of the 1966-1970's . . . A.K.A. . . . Ala-Yoruba

Anaghi agwa ochi nti na ahia esula!

May God deliver us from this menace.

Not a news. The question is : How have you been handling them ?

Three Men were braggin about
technology, an American, a
German and a Nigerian. American
said, "A baby was born without
Hands & we attached artificial
hands & now he is d gold olympic
boxer. German said, "almost same
thing but in our own case we
attached artificial legs & d person
happens to become a gold
sprinter." The Nigerian laughed
hysterically & said "is that all you
can do? in Bayelsa, a baby was
born without head & we attached
coconut on d neck, now he is d
president and his name is GEJ.

What will happen? What will the majority southern spineless beings do to em? We could not even fight the scourge of MEND . . . had to bribe them to make them play nice. Abeg stop bragging about NOTHING AS USUAL -- typical Nigerian ALL MOUTH BUT NO ACTION moves. . . .We all know this is the reality even in the south.

The FG couldn't fight MEND, because guilty conscience no go gree them. They sabi say na dem dey at fault. Tell me how else our Niger-Delta brothers could've made their voices loud enough to our ignorant, greedy and deaf FG?
They came to their lands all in the name of oil mining. Ngwanu, if na to even drill and steal all the oil, no wahala. But can you justify polluting their air with toxic waste, polluting their drinking water with toxic crap, killing off their major means of livelihood (the fishes), and then leaving them used, hungry and economically crippled, without a source of food? let's not even go there. The FG sabi say na dem mess up big time, and I support the struggle (even though it's been hijacked by greedy politicians with ulterior motives).
But as for Boko? Which case dem get? Just killing people incessantly because they forcefully want to turn the entire country into a haven of moon-worshipping illiterates.
Abeg, the attack on Boko's is DEFINITELY welcome!

in other news, the sky is blue, the grass is green and i am female, If we as a nation needed Algeria to tell us what Boko haram is then we really are no different from an Ostrich who buries her head in the sand whilst ignoring a problem in its front hoping the problem will somehow disappear.
May God help us all

Waitin 4 dat day,d day they gono do sometin bad in south south. e go make brain o. see hammering

Chances are extremely high that we will be discussing this issue as if it is new, come fall 2012.

we can't find MEND cuz they actually do have a reason

you know how it feels if you can't fish cuz ur rivers have oil spills? and the FG ignores you

as for boko haram, they are just attention seekers.

You mean FG ignores you mainly because you don't want to confront your local politicians who continue to swallow the billions of naira put aside to help you? lol

I think our intelligence gathering and the mode of operation has to change. For me I propose that all indigenes of. The north , who are security personal should be posted to their state . It will be easier that way

Na rat wen dey inside house dey go invite the one wen dey outside.bird of a feather.

Nigeria needs the right to bear arms.
