From Reuters,
Boko Haram, a radical Islamist sect, said on Tuesday it was behind bombings in central Nigeria and attacks on churches in the northeast of the country that led to the deaths of at least 86 people.
[It] became active in around 2003 and is primarily concentrated in the northern states of Yobe, Kano, Bauchi, Borno and Kaduno.
On July 13, [its leader Abubakar Shekau] issued another statement expressing solidarity with al Qaeda and threatened the United States.
is loosely modelled on the Taliban movement in Afghanistan.
considers anyone not following their strict ideology, whether Christian or Muslim, as infidels. The group demands the adoption of Islamic sharia law in all of Nigeria.

The attacks would mark the first time the sect, which launched an uprising last year, had struck outside of the country's predominately Muslim north.
"O nations of the world, be informed that verily the attacks in Suldaniyya (Jos) and Borno on the eve of Christmas was carried out by us, Jama?atu Ahlus-Sunnah Lidda?Awati Wal Jihad [Jama'atu Ahlus-Sunnah Lidda'Awatu Wal Jihad], under the leadership of Abu Muhammad, Abubakar bin Muhammad Shekau (May Allah preserve him)," a statement on the site said.
The attacks were meant "to start avenging the atrocities committed against Muslims in those areas, and the country in general. Therefore we will continue with our attacks on disbelievers and their allies and all those who help them ..."
Jama?atu Ahlus-Sunnah Lidda?Awati Wal Jihad translates roughly to "People Committed to the Prophet's Teachings for Propagation and Jihad."
"Everybody knows about the gruesome murders of Muslims in different parts of Nigeria ... Jos is a testimony to the gruesome killings of our Muslim brethren and the abductions of our women and children whose whereabouts are still unknown ...
"My message to my Muslim brethren is that they should know that this war is a war between Muslims and infidels. This is a religious war."
Abdulrahman Akano, police commissioner for Plateau state, where Jos is the capital, cast doubt on the claim.
"Anybody can post anything on the Internet," he said, adding that the bomb blasts were not the usual method used by Boko Haram
The statement on the website also claimed responsibility for the church attacks.
Many attribute the unrest in Jos to the struggle for economic and political power between the Christian Beroms, seen as the indigenous ethnic group in the region, and the Hausa-Fulani Muslims, viewed as the more recent arrivals.

In two separate attacks in the northern city of Maiduguri, suspected Boko Haram gunmen killed a policeman and retired police officer while three civilians suffered gunshot wounds, Borno state police spokesman Lawal Abdullahi told AFP.
This attack came barely a day after the sect claimed responsibility for multiple explosions in the central city of Jos on Christmas eve. At least 80 people were killed in those attacks and in reprisal killings.
The group also claimed to be behind the attack on three churches in Maiduguri on the same day in which six people were killed and a church was burnt down.
From AllAfrica.com
"We have gone around the five hospitals where casualties from the explosions and the violence that followed in Jos were taken," said Daniel Balarabe Gambo, deputy director of communications for the National Emergency Management Agency.
"The data we collated at these hospitals shows that a total of 80 people died from the incidents while 189 were injured."
[Some police say they doubt Boko Haram's claim of responsibility and claim the death toll was much lower, "but the emergency agency has insisted it was accurate."]
From AP, [NOTE: This site does not trust the writer of the AP story, Ahmed Mohammed. For more information on him, please read this article.]
A radical Muslim sect has claimed responsibility for the Christmas Eve bombings and church attacks in Nigeria that killed at least 38 people, and the group threatened new attacks to avenge local violence against Muslims.
"Therefore we will continue with our attacks on disbelievers and their allies and all those who help them," the statement said.
The radical Muslim sect is also known by a much longer Arabic name, which means "the organization of followers of the teachings of Prophet Muhammad and champions of Islam and holy wars."

Comments: Typical Islamic terrorist narrative (also believed by many ordinary Muslims).
Boko Haram apparently is now claiming alleged violence against Muslims as an excuse for killing Christians.
It's the usual victim-card excuse, based on delusions of persecution, cause by paranoia resulting from belief in conspiracy theories, for Muslim terror.
There is also the Islamic supremacy of trying to impose Islamic sharia law on non-Muslims in Nigeria. They don't just want it for themselves. These fascists want to ram it down the throat of non-Muslims too.
Liberal-Left and other Muslims will add the usual socio-economic narrative of social and economic factors as excuses for Islamic terror.
The real reason for the Muslim violence however is that they want to impose sharia (Islamic law) on non-Muslims in Nigeria and continue the project of Islamizing Nigeria (convert everyone to Islam or force them to live as second class Dhimmi citizens) that was going on before the arrival of the British.
And what's going on in Nigeria isn't limited to there either. Muslim supremacists want to conquer and rule the whole world under a global caliphate (Islamic state ruled by a caliph or Islamic ruler who is both religious and political head).
The Islamic jihad conquest of non-Muslim lands is something that was started by Muhammad himself and continued throughout history right up to this day.
This is not to say that there aren't any Muslim victims. But looking looking at the global picture, Muslims almost always are terrorizing other Muslims or non-Muslims. And they always have local excuses for conflict, where ever they go. So don't mention it. We already know the story, which is that Muslims will get into some conflict and they will have some excuse. If you take away that excuse, then they will come up with another complaint. It's all predictable, but why aren't psychologist and psychiatrists speaking out?
As it has been argued before, Nigeria should split into two countries between Christian and animist south, and Muslim north, just like it is about to happen in Sudan. After the split, a separation barrier should be built like in Israel to keep out terrorists, and strict immigration policy adopted so that traitor immigrant terrorists or those who want to bring their Islamic ways, won't be allowed in, like it's happening in the West. If they want to live under sharia, they can go live in a Muslim country that has it.

Report by 4 US senators says Blair and Brown governments, Scotland and BP prostituted justice for Libyan (trade) money in releasing Lockerbie bomber Megrahi on false medical diagnosis
From BBC
The senators' report states that Scottish authorities examining the former Libyan intelligence officer relied on "false" and "flawed" medical prognosis that may have been influenced by a doctor hired by the Libyan government.
Mr Menendez [Senator Bob Menendez], along with three other senators, launched the investigation after officials from Scotland, the UK and BP failed to testify at a Senate foreign relations committee hearing, he was scheduled to chair in July.
"This was a case in which commercial and economic considerations trumped the message of our global fight against terrorism," said Mr Menendez.
From AFP,
Libyan national Abdelbaset Ali Mohmet al-Megrahi is the only person ever convicted over the 1988 attack in which 270 people, most of them Americans, perished when Pan Am Flight 103 exploded over the Scottish town of Lockerbie.
Scottish authorities, who have power over their own judicial affairs, released Megrahi, 58, on compassionate grounds in August 2009 after doctors said he was suffering from terminal cancer and had three months to live.
Megrahi is still alive more than 16 months
Titled "Justice Undone: The Release of the Lockerbie Bomber," the report found
political pressure and "commercial warfare" [900-million-dollar BP oil deal that Libya had threatened to cut off and a 165-million-dollar arms deal signed the same month al-Megrahi was freed] by the government of Libyan dictator Moamer Kadhafi played a major role in the decision [by governments of British Prime Ministers Tony Blair and Gordon Brown]
[Scottish authorities have dismissed the report by the senators saying it was an unofficial investigation.]
UPDATE: This addition is from Daily Mail (U.K.)
The report says the British government played a ‘direct, critical role’ in Megrahi’s release and could have prevented it but ‘chose not to’.
It suggests the two Scottish doctors who said the bomber had months to live had been influenced by three doctors who were hired by the Libyan Government.
The Senate report quotes cancer experts who said the three month prognosis was 'inaccurate and unsupported by medical science'.
It says the decision to release al Megrahi was made primarily by two Scottish prison doctors who had no background in prostate cancer.
Britain's ambassador to Libya, Sir Vincent Fean, 'directly participated' in an October 2008 meeting with Scottish government and senior Libyan officials to discuss a 'way out' for Megrahi, the report states.
He [Foreign Secretary William Hague, had] said British interests, 'including those of U.K. nationals, British businesses and possibly security cooperation would be damaged - perhaps badly - if Megrahi were to die in a Scottish prison.'
The report also highlights the role of the Government of Qatar who lobbied for the bomber's release.
It states at the time the Scottish Government were seeking to expand commercial ties with Qatar

Comments: Looks like a case of 'Justice for sale' but this isn't really about money, except for BP. This is appeasement to Muslims by the politically correct elites.
There is also the corrupting influence of Money, especially Muslim oil-money, that will destroy nations and civilizations, without any terrorism.
Everyone should watch out. Next time it might be your justice that gets prostituted for Muslim money, threats and terror balckmails.
This case shows why the simple left-wing, right-wing distinction don't work. Greedy right-wing capitalists would sell theirs and your soul for money, while the poor left-wing would betray out of envy and hate, or false dreams of a better world.
Finally, this is a classic case of 'victim-card', where the terrorist who killed hundreds, portrayed himself as pitiful and deserving of compassion and mercy. Bleeding heart liberals and left-wingers, especially, fall victim to this sort of con (trick). They have all the mercy and compassion for the terrorists but non for the victims.
Watch out next time a terrorist comes around begging for mercy and compassion, and starts talking about forgiveness.
This is nothing but blackmail and the British once again appeasing and giving in to Muslims.

Conspiracy theories and blame games: South Sinai governor, Mohamed Abdul Fadil Shousha says Mossad could be behind Sharm el-Sheikh shark attacks
Last week, 'oceanic white tip sharks mauled three Russians and a Ukrainian tourist'2 'off the coast of Sharm el-Sheikh.'2 'In one of those attacks, a shark bit off an elderly woman's hand and tore off another woman's leg.'2
After those attacks authorities hunted down two sharks and reopened the beach deeming it safe.1
'However, an Egyptian NGO warned on Saturday that at least one of the sharks behind the attacks was still at large.'1
On Sunday an elderly3 German woman tourist snorkeler died after a shark 'mauled her thigh and arm'.1
According to AFP, 'South Sinai governor Mohammed Shosha has said the sharks could have turned frenzied after a ship transporting livestock dumped dead sheep into the sea, while marine experts said overfishing may have forced them closer to shore.'1
'Environmentalists warned that the string of recent attacks is likely a result of the Red Sea's declining ecosystem. Gabar, the head of the CDWS [Chamber of Diving and Water Sports], said he's seen a jump in the number of sharks off Egypt's Red Sea coast, which he said could be caused by overfishing, which could force sharks to swim closer to shore in search of food.'2
BBC reports that,
Sources: 1. AFP, 2. AP, 3. BBC
Comments: Conspiracy theories and blame games in the Muslim world are nothing new and reaches up to the highest levels of society.
And as usual, such beliefs are followed by further beliefs of being persecuted (victim-card) and visions of the grandeur and supremacy of Islam.
This problem is made worse by politically correct censors who censor any attempt to expose it, while feeding the fire with politically correct lies that praise those in the wrong as being good, right and wonderful, and condemn legitimate criticisms as 'hate', 'bigotry' and 'Islamophobia' (worse things said and done by the other side are ignored).
A few days ago this site reported the revelation from US embassy cables leaked by WikiLeaks that Turkish Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan was susceptible to Islamist conspiracy theories - some of them pulled from the web. The following quote is from that story.
AFP reports other cables as saying,

Conspiracy theories are always popular in the Middle East, with unlikely suggestions often made that troubles in Arab countries could be caused by Mossad agents.3An official Egyptian news site reported South Sinai governor, Mohamed Abdul Fadil Shousha, as saying3
Rumours had circulated in Egypt that there could be an Israeli connection to this unusual spate of Red Sea shark attacks.3
"What is being said about the Mossad throwing the deadly shark [in the sea] to hit tourism in Egypt is not out of the question, but it needs time to confirm"3

AFP reports other cables as saying,
Erdogan lacks "vision" and "analytic depth", reads "minimally", ignores foreign ministry expertise and is guided by an "iron ring of sycophantic (but contemptuous) advisors... which partially explains... his susceptibility to Islamist theories."As for the blame game, here are some quotes from two previous articles which can be found here and here.
He is said to rely on "his charisma, instincts, and the filterings of advisors who pull conspiracy theories off the Web or are lost in neo-Ottoman Islamist fantasies, e.g., Islamist foreign policy advisor... Ahmet Davutoglu."
A cable signed by the US ambassador in January 2010 says Davutoglu wants to reassert on the Balkans the influence the Ottoman empire used to exert on the region.
Walter Rodgers, a former senior international correspondent for CNN said,
Bernard Lewis, the renowned Princeton scholar of Islam, has called attention to the Arab tendency to play “the blame game.”And Political science teacher Houchang Hassan-yari, of Canada's Royal Military College said,
He notes Arabs traditionally blamed the Mongols, the Ottoman Turks, the colonial powers, and now the Jews and the Americans for everything that has gone awry
it is Tehran's standard practice to finger "outside forces and outside enemies for everything bad that goes on inside the country."
