Boko Haram kills 40 students in Nigeria college dorm.

. . . . . .
3 hours ago .Damaturu (Nigeria) (AFP) - Boko Haram gunmen on Sunday opened fire in a college dormitory in northeast Nigeria as the students slept, killing 40, in the latest massacre blamed on the Islamist insurgents.
All of the dead were students of the College of Agriculture in the town of Gujba in Yobe state, the area governor said in a statement.
The early morning attack was carried out by "Boko Haram terrorists who went into the school and opened fire on students" while they were sleeping, the military spokesman in Yobe, Lazarus Eli, told AFP.
Salamanu Ibrahim, a 23-year-old student at the college, said dozens of gunmen took part in the killing, bursting into dorm rooms and firing indiscriminately in the dark.
"The attackers went berserk," he told AFP in Yobe's capital Damaturu, some 30 kilometres (18 miles) away, where he fled along with hundreds of other students.

The office of Yobe Governor Ibrahim Gaidam put the death toll at 40, with four others injured.
In a previously scheduled television interview, President Goodluck Jonathan said he instructed Nigeria's security chiefs "to look at different ways of handling" the insurgency hours after learning of the latest bloodshed.
He also voiced exasperation at the targeting of students in the interview broadcast on several networks, saying: "Why did they kill them? ... You can ask and ask."
The European Union's foreign policy chief Catherine Ashton called the slaughter "horrific".

The name Boko Haram, loosely translated, means "Western education is forbidden", and the group has become notorious for slaughtering students.
In July in the town of Mamudo in Yobe, Islamists threw explosives and sprayed gunfire into dormitories in the middle of the night, killing 41 students.
Military offensive criticised
The military has described the recent school attacks as a sign of desperation by the Islamists, claiming that they lack the capacity to strike anything but soft targets.

A screengrab taken on September 25, 2013 from a video distributed through an intermediary shows a ma …Defence officials have said that an offensive launched against Boko Haram in mid-May has decimated the group and scattered its fighters across remote parts of the northeast, the insurgents' traditional stronghold.
While many of the recent attacks have occurred in more remote areas, often targeting defenceless civilians, the unchecked killing has cast doubt on the success of the military campaign.
"Although there is increase in troop movement and... more military hardware in the northeast, people were yet to see the kind of action on the ground that effectively nips criminal and terrorist activities in the bud," the Yobe governor's statement said.
Scores have been killed this month, including in the northeastern town of Benisheik, where at least 142 people were slaughtered by Boko Haram fighters who came disguised as soldiers, set up checkpoints and fired on motorists and bystanders.
Some of the recent violence has targeted vigilante groups that have formed to help the military.

The phone network has been switched off in much of the northeast since the emergency measures were declared, a move the military said would help prevent the Islamists from coordinating attacks.
Boko Haram has said it is fighting to create an Islamic state in Nigeria's mainly Muslim north, but the group is believed to be made up of different factions with varying aims.
The group has attacked churches, mosques, newspaper offices, the security forces, politicians and a UN building, among other targets.
According to an estimate made earlier this year, the conflict has cost more than 3,600 lives, including killings by the security forces. The current figure is likely much higher.

And yet these melon fethers are killing in the name of that same religion. It's as if religion itself is to be blamed.

Don't get them confused with the Al Shabaab militia in Somalia.
Stil, I hate it how Africa is plagued by war even today.
In the Centre and the South, it's Warlords and drugs. In the north, it's Islamic Jihadists wanting to topple governments and establish Sharia states. Honestly, the UN is a bunch of kitties vetoing each other than going in there and cleaning up.

Is there really a difference? A Jihadi terrorist is a Jihadi terrorist.

I've heard reports of this group that they will kill their own countrymen for the crime of wearing a shirt. Just another bunch of extremist scumbags who no doubt think that they're doing Africa some kind of service; I despair of some people.

You can't blame the entire religion for the actions of a few. There are plenty of peaceful Muslims in the world.

You can't blame the entire religion for the actions of a few. There are plenty of peaceful Muslims in the world.
Sorry, but it well past time for the peaceful majority to stand up and demand action be taken against the violent minority... and for western governments to grow a damn backbone and call these mass murders for what they are - Muslim Extremists.
If these were say Christian Extremists running about like savages acting like it's still 900AD and slaughtering Muslim minorities, we'd have very quickly gone in and blown the crap out of them and put and end to this stupidity.
But it seems that as long as it's violent Muslim extremists slaughtering mainly Christian minorities, we're happy to idly sit back and pander to the Islamists to avoid being labeled racist and insensitive.

It's at this point someone is going to point you to a few examples of Christians killing or harming for whatever fits their fancy and say that extremism happens everywhere. Which of course means that is equal in proportion, and happens for the same reasons.
