Nigeria: Boko Haram Jihadists Targeting A Policeman Kill A Nurse In Drive-By Shooting

From Jihad Watch:


Nigeria: Boko Haram jihadists targeting a policeman kill a nurse in drive-by shooting







Hallmark doesn't make a "Sorry we accidentally murdered the wrong person in an act of jihad" card, though Boko Haram is unlikely to be particularly remorseful anyway. It is not entirely clear, but seems probable that this ambush on a card game is the same as the one reported here. "Nigerian Boko Haram Islamists 'kill nurse' in Maiduguri," from BBC News, June 20:



Gunmen from Nigeria's radical Islamist sect Boko Haram have killed a nurse who was playing cards in the north-eastern city of Maiduguri, according to police.



Police said four people were also wounded in the shooting at a bus stop in the city.



The gunmen killed another person in a separate attack in Maiduguri, police added.



Boko Haram, which is fighting for Islamic rule, bombed the police headquarters in Abuja last week.



A least eight people were killed in the bombing, local media reported.



The BBC's Bilkisu Babangida in Maiduguri says the nurse was killed in a drive-by shooting.
