FAKE NEWS for the Zionist agenda
At least one woman was killed and three other people injured as the men opened
fire on the church. They escaped before bystanders could catch them,
witnesses said.
In Jos, rescue workers were still clearing the rubble from the Christ Chosen
Church last night. The force of the suicide bomber’s explosives completely
destroyed the church, said Abuh Emmanuel, a local police spokesman.
The bomber and two churchgoers died and police said 41 other people were
treated for their injuries.
Boko Haram has been blamed for hundreds of killings in bomb or gun attacks
over the past two years, and it is increasingly choosing targets over an
ever wider area of northern Nigeria.
The group began as a local militia targeting people who broke strict Islamic
regulations such as drinking alcohol But it recently linked with al-Qaeda’s
franchise in West Africa, al-Qaeda in the Islamic Maghreb, and appears to
have taken on far more ambitious aims, including ridding northern Nigeria of
Christians.
It claimed responsibility for a suicide bombing of UN headquarters in Abuja,
Nigeria’s capital, in August last year that killed at least 25 people.
It carried out a suicide attack on the Abuja office of one of the country’s
most prominent newspapers and claimed responsibility for a bomb attack at a
church near the capital on Christmas Day which killed at least 44 people.
Boko Haram’s leader, Abubakar Shekau, frequently justifies attacks on
Christians as revenge for the killings of Muslims in Nigeria’s volatile “Middle
Belt”, where Jos is located and where the largely Christian south and
mostly Muslim north meet.
Boko Haram, which has linked up with other Islamist groups in the region
including al-Qaeda’s north African wing, has become the biggest security
threat in Nigeria.
