Looking at that map, it's up in the Northern corner, they need to have another major crackdown there. Country of 150 million, I don't know how many were killed in the Kenya Mall attack but at a hundred fatalities, this has to be as bad and if it happened here, (hopefully) such terrorists would be quickly dealt with, it compares to OKC.

“In the Maiduguri attack, fans, according to an eye witness, were watching football in a ‘viewing centre’ when the explosion occurred.

“The explosion apparently left about 70 dead,” the eye witness said.

The blast was said to have attracted many people nearby including wedding guests who launched a rescue operation.

“Moments after the rescue operation got underway, another explosion went off, killing many more and wounding several others.”

The only defense against Boko Haram is armed and trained militias. Will the Nigerian establishment allow this?
