Two Nigerian affiliates of the al-Qaeda in the Islamic
Maghreb — Boko Haram and theJama’atu Ansarul Muslimina fi Biladis- Sudan — are planning major reprisals to
protest Nigeria’s participation in the Mali war, SUNDAY PUNCH authoritatively reports.
Nigeria has deployed forces in
northern Mali to flush out the al-Qaeda-linked Islamist groups who have taken
control of the vast desert territory.
Barely 48 hours after the Mali
mission, terror operations increased in the northern part of the country with
not less four attacks in three days leading to the death of about 30 people.
