Almost 100 people have died in a series of attacks across the north of Nigeria.

At least 51 people were killed in one attack, in the northeast Nigerian city of Maiduguri, after Islamic extremists set off two car bombs in a busy market.

Officials expected the death toll to rise, as many more people are thought to be buried under rubble from collapsed buildings.

The victims included children dancing at a wedding celebration and people watching a football match at an outdoor cinema, according to witnesses.

really have been busy destroying lives and any sense of peace and safety for so many living there.

can't imagine how horrific it would all be throughout that area of the world if we hadn't decimated al-Qaeda...

and they pull this shit everywhere .. China, India, Philippines, Thailand, Myanmar ..

The terrorist elements are not satisfied until 100% of the population becomes to their liking -- either by killing others, forced conversions or forced exile .... then they impose Sharia, Jizya etc. and oppress the population all in the name of the religion of peace!

No moderate or peace loving follower ever condemns this making me wonder if they even exist. Even today, when I talk to people in different countries, no one says 9/11 was a horrific terrorist act and such bastards who plan and carry it out should be hanged.

However, on DU, they have a lot of support. Some people work for their liberal badge by sympathizing with the most horrific perpetrators.
