New “Boko Haram” leader threatens to massacre all Christians

The new leader of terrorist organization "Boko Haram", which declared its support of the Islamic state, is determined to massacre all Christians who will get in the militants’ way. It is reported by RIA News.

“We will mine and explode every church, kill those citizens who wear crosses,” announced Al Barnavi in the interview to the IS “Al-Nabaa” newspaper.

The “Boko Haram” leader also noted that under his leadership warheads will do their best “to return the territory”. He assured an ever-increasing number of young people join the formation.

Nigerian terrorists are led by the former “Boko Haram” spokesman Abu Musab al-Barnawi. Reportedly, the ISIS granted him the post of “Western Africa governor”.

Nigeria's militant Islamist group Boko Haram - which has caused havoc in Africa's most populous country through a wave of bombings, assassinations and abductions - is fighting to overthrow the government and create an Islamic state.

It will be reminded, Boko Haram promotes a version of Islam which makes it "haram", or forbidden, for Muslims to take part in any political or social activity associated with Western society.This includes voting in elections, wearing shirts and trousers or receiving a secular education. Boko Haram regards the Nigerian state as being run by non-believers, even when the country had a Muslim president - and it has extended its military campaign by targeting neighboring states.
