Radical Islamic Terrorists In Nigeria Go On Killing Spree, 150 People Dead

The attack on Africa by al Qaeda continues to push southward as a radical islamic group in northern Nigeria, who has sworn allegiance to al Qaeda, went on a killing rampage yesterday and killed up to 150 people. We have seen the effects of al Qaeda across the northern tier of Africa in the countries of Somalia, Sudan, Algeria, Morocco and Mauritania and now, we see this push of the muslim horde southward...the best bet is that the continent of Africa will become a blood bath over the next 10 years as the islamists see the largely undefended region as ripe for the taking. Gotta admit that this "religion" of islam has one helluva conversion policy, eh?

Here's the story from Times Online:

Clashes with Islamists who claim to be Taleban kill 150 in Nigeria

Radical Islamists, who claim to be linked to al-Qaeda, have killed more than 150 people in two days of violence in northern Nigeria, news agencies reported.
Residents in the state of Borno said that Islamic militants, loyal to an anti-Western preacher, burnt a police station, a church and a customs office early yesterday.
The attacks came after clashes in the neighbouring, mainly Muslim states of Bauchi and Yobe on Sunday.
The heavily armed sect, which calls itself Taleban, emerged in Nigeria in 2004. Although, it has never been clear if it has proper links to the Taleban in Afghanistan its leaders profess allegiance to and admiration of Osama bin Laden.

“Five policemen have been killed, one police station burnt and 60 Talebans killed,” Ogbonna Onovo, an Inspector-General of the police, told reporters.
The fighting started in Bauchi when police hit back at militants after they attacked a police station at dawn. A gunbattle ensued and 39 people were killed.
There were further clashes in Yobe state, Mr Onovo said.
