Nigerian jihadists vow more jihad

More jihad.  As if there is such a thing as less jihad.  Fiercer jihad as opposed to not so fierce jihad, brought to you by the "books, him bad" crowd.

And the hits just keep on coming.

Nigerian Islamists vow 'fiercer' attacks

A Nigerian Islamist sect that staged a series of deadly attacks mainly in the country's north on Wednesday threatened "fiercer" attacks and said it would not enter into talks with the government.

The Boko Haram group, which had two days ago laid down conditions for any talks with government, also disclosed for the first time that it had links with Islamists in Somalia.

"Dialogue with President (Goodluck) Jonathan has collapsed," because of the statements made by the inspector general of police and governor of northern Borno state, the group said.

It said it was angered by the police chief Hafiz Ringim's declaration that "the days of Boko Haram are numbered".

"Very soon, we will wage jihad...We want to make it known that our jihadists have arrived in Nigeria from Somalia where they received real training on warfare from our brethren who made that country ungovernable...," said the group in a handwritten statement.

Interesting statement that jihadists in Somalia have made that country "ungovernable".  That is the goal, reduce the country to abject rubble, and then present the only option for fixing the problem: sharia law. 

"This time round, our attacks will be fiercer and wider than they have been," it said, adding it will target all northern states and the country's capital Abuja.
