LAGOS, Nigeria (AP) — A radical Muslim sect in northeast Nigeria on Sunday gunned down another security agent following attacks earlier this week that left at least 69 people dead.

The latest attack by the sect known locally as Boko Haram targeted a police inspector in the city of Maiduguri, the sect's spiritual home. Sect gunmen stopped the officer's car at gunpoint as he neared a mosque to pray with his family, local police commissioner Simeon Midenda said.

Gunmen ordered the family away, then shot the inspector to death, Midenda said. The sect members later allowed his family to drive the car away, he said.

...

Boko Haram wants to implement strict Shariah law across Nigeria, an oil-rich nation of more than 160 million which has a predominantly Christian south and a Muslim north. Its name means "Western education is sacrilege" in the local Hausa language, but instead of schooling, it rejects Western ideals like Nigeria's U.S.-styled democracy that followers believe have destroyed the country with corrupt politicians.

US: Bomb attacks possible in Nigeria capital

LAGOS, Nigeria — A radical Muslim sect reponsible for attacks that left more than 100 people dead in northeast Nigeria this week could bomb three luxury hotels frequented by foreigners in the oil-rich nation's capital, the U.S. Embassy warned Sunday.

The unusually specific warning from U.S. diplomats identified possible targets of the sect known locally as Boko Haram as the Hilton, Nicon Luxury and Sheraton hotels. Those hotels draw diplomats, politicians and Nigeria's business elite daily in the country's central capital of Abuja.

A journalist described scenes of chaos and destruction in Damaturu.

“In fact, Damaturu is looking just like Libya… burnt cars and buildings.” In a mainly Christian neighbourhood of Damaturu called Jerusalem, six churches were bombed in addition to a police station.

Militants from Boko Haram, whose name means “Western Education Is Sin” in the regional Hausa language, have in the past targeted police and military, community and religious leaders, as well as politicians.

How many times have we heard it preached here that the only reason radical Muslims attack is to repel imperialist aggression

Or some nonsense like that

Isn't that what your cite says they are doing...what is your point?

What "imperialist aggression" are you supposedly referencing?

Or what is it you are trying to suggest.

Youre the chief troll who routinely argues that Islamic radicals only commit terrorism because of Western incursions, as defensive measures. Heres an opportunity for you to either learn the reality, or show us how these news reports are mistaken.

These reports are saying that these radical elements are killing people and bombing churches and government buildings because they want to establish Sharia law... and because Western education is sinful.

Is that not correct?
