Nigerian Islamic Terrorist: ‘We Should Mutilate’ Christians

Islamic Militant Leader Vows to Continue Attacks Against Nigerian Christians: ‘We Should Mutilate’

NIGERIA – In a video released on Saturday, the leader of an Islamic terrorist group vowed to attack Christians and threatened to mutilate and decapitate victims.
Abubakar Shekau is the leader of Nigeria’s Boko Haram, a group that seeks to force Sharia law upon Nigerians. For several years, Boko Haram jihadists have wreaked havoc in northern Nigeria, with thousands of Nigerians displaced from their homes.

Boko Haram fighters are particularly hostile toward Christians in Nigeria; according to reports, over 700 Christian Nigerians have been killed in 2013 alone due to Boko Haram-related violence. As recently as Saturday, twelve people died when Boko Haram insurgents opened fire during a wedding ceremony in the predominantly Christian village of Tashan Alade.

In Shekau’s video, which was emailed to several journalists, he claimed responsibility for a December 20^th attack on Nigerian tank battalion barracks, but credits Allah with the success of the assault.

“Our fighters stormed [the military barracks],” he stated. “Allah threw [the troops] into confusion through some servants of Allah who dedicated themselves to Allah. … It is in the same [barracks] that our brothers pulverized 21 armored tanks. People in multitudes were killed, bodies scattered all over and the sight would astonish any onlooker. Soldiers hid under blankets in their rooms and our fighters pursued them and blew out their brains.”

Then Shekau claimed his men would have eaten their victims’ bodies, if commanded.

“Had Allah allowed us to eat them we would have eaten them,” he said, “but we are not cannibals because we are not spirits or animals. As for killing, we will kill [for] Allah. If he says we should decapitate, we should amputate the limbs, we should mutilate.”
