Islamic Terrorists Kill 40 in Nigeria

While the eyes of the world are focused on the war in Gaza following the barbaric attacks committed against innocent people in Israel, Muslim terrorists have killed at least 40 people in Nigeria, according to Reuters.

“At least 40 people were killed in Nigeria’s Yobe state between Monday and Tuesday after suspected Boko Haram militants shot at villagers and set off a land mine,” reported Reuters. 

The attack unfolded on Monday evening at Gurokayeya village, according to local officials, when gunmen affiliated with Boko Haram opened fire on residents there, killing 17 people. 

Then “on Tuesday a land mine exploded, killing at least 20 villagers who were returning from burying victims of the previous attack,” Reuters reported.
