Nigeria's Boko Haram members kill two Indians

Maiduguri, 26 Jul – (ANA) - Suspected members of Islamist sect Boko Haram have shot dead two Indians after storming their factory in the northeast Nigerian city of Maiduguri, a military spokesman said today. Boko Haram has killed hundreds this year in its campaign to carve out an Islamic state in Nigeria, whose population is split evenly between Christians and Muslims. "Information available indicates that suspected Boko Haram terrorists attacked a gum arabic factory operated by Indians located at Bayan Quarters in Maiduguri on Wednesday," said Sagir Musa, spokesman for the military Joint Task Force. "The incident led to the death of two Indians with one wounded, who is receiving treatment at the hospital." The attackers stole 90,000 naira, he said. Boko Haram was born out of an uprising in 2009 in Maiduguri, the capital of Borno state. (ANA)
