Nigeria: Muslims murder at least 40 farmers
Borno state Governor Babagana Umara Zulum says: “Let me assure the citizens of Borno that this matter will be thoroughly investigated for further necessary action. Let me use this opportunity to call on the armed forces to track and deal decisively with the perpetrators of this heinous act of violence against our innocent citizens.”
But Governor, Boko Haram has been waging jihad in Nigeria for years now. If the armed forces could really deal decisively with the perpetrators of this heinous act and so many others like it, wouldn’t they have done so long before now?
And who is training and arming these jihad groups that are more powerful than Africa’s national military forces?
At least 40 farmers killed by Islamic militants in northeast Nigeria, official says
Associated Press, January 13, 2025:
At least 40 farmers were killed in an attack by Islamic militants in northeast Nigeria’s Borno state, a government official said Monday.
The attack Sunday was suspected to have been carried out by extremists from the Boko Haram group and its breakaway faction that is loyal to the Islamic State group in Borno’s Dumba community, said Borno state Gov. Babagana Umara Zulum.
He warned civilians to stay within designated “safe zones” that have been cleared by the army of both extremists and munitions.
Zulum also called for an investigation into the attack by the armed forces.
“Let me assure the citizens of Borno that this matter will be thoroughly investigated for further necessary action. Let me use this opportunity to call on the armed forces to track and deal decisively with the perpetrators of this heinous act of violence against our innocent citizens,” he said.
Boko Haram, Nigeria’s homegrown jihadis, took up arms in 2009 to fight Western education and impose their radical version of Islamic law….
US green card holder stabs 4 in Israel terror attack
— then is shot dead
A Moroccan national with a US green card stabbed and wounded four people in a terror attack in Israel on Tuesday before he was shot dead, officials said.
Abdelaziz Kaddi, 29, went on a rampage attacking four men between the ages of 24 to 59 in Tel Aviv, the Times of Israel reports.
Kaddi, who held a US permanent resident card, had entered Israel on Jan. 18 with a tourist visa, Israeli officials said.
Israeli police say the attack happened in Tel Aviv’s Nahalat Binyamin neighborhood Tuesday evening, with witnesses reporting that Kaddi was killed by an armed civilian.
Tel Aviv District Commander Asst.-Ch. Haim Sargaroff told reporters that Kaddi appeared to act alone and there was no evidence of another terrorist in the attack, The Jerusalem Post reports.
Israel’s Magen David Adom ambulance service said two of the victims, aged 24 and 28, were listed in moderate condition, with a 24-year-old and a 59-year-old listed in good condition.
Officials say they are investigating the attack and Kaddi’s movements after arriving in Israel. The case is being treated as a terror attack.
Tuesday’s mass stabbing was only the latest such attack on Israeli soil that have been occurring regularly since the Oct. 7 terrorist attack.
Last October, six people were wounded after a moped-riding Arab Israeli went on a stabbing spree in the city of Hadera.
The suspect drove around the city and attacked the bystanders at four different locations before he was shot by armed civilians.
Smaller scale attacks have also been regularly reported, including one on Saturday where a 19-year-old Palestinian man illegally entered Israel through the West Bank and stabbed a 30-year-old in Tel Aviv.
