Boko Haram Terror Attack Kills 5 In Kano Nigeria

Revelation 6:3-4 NCV When the Lamb opened the second seal, I heard the second living creature say, "Come!" Then another horse came out, a red one. Its rider was given power to take away peace (prosperity, rest) from the earth and to make people kill each other (butcher, slaughter, to maim violently, in streets), and he was given a big sword (assassins sword, terrorist, loud, mighty, sore afraid).

The Islamic terrorist group Boko Haram has made another deadly attack on a Christian church in Nigeria.

The terrorists bombed Saint Charles Catholic Church in Kano, Nigeria on Sunday, killing at least 5 people and wounding 8 others.  The bombing happened shortly after the ending of Sunday mass as the crowd was beginning to leave the building.  Police estimate the weapon was an IED thrown from across the road.

The attack was one of two attempted in Kano on Sunday.  A woman wearing a homicide bomb vest was surrounded and isolated by police, detonating her device where she could not cause damage.  Five officers were slightly wounded when she detonated the device.

In a surprising show of support to the Christian community of Kano, Muslim officials cancelled the city’s celebrating of the Eid festival marking the end of the Muslim month of Ramadan.

Government officials say that Boko Haram has started receiving weapons and training from other al-Qaeda related groups like Al-Shabab in Somalia.
