VP Dick Cheney, Michael Chertoff, Bill Kristol, Paul Wolfowitz and others have been doing a good job saying how they believe America must deal with ISIS, but what about terrorist Boko Haram?

Sounds like Rome v. Avignon and Pope vs. AntiPope.

Grab the popcorn.

One of the big problems of the Islamist movement.

There can, by definition, be only one Caliph.

There are LOTS of guys who want to be Caliph.

Not a recipe for internal cohesion.

Yeah, but ISIS is not Islam, just like Islam is not Islam.

Uganda Holds 19 Terror Suspects, Seizes Explosives

Ugandan authorities are holding 19 suspects arrested over an apparent terror plot, officials said Monday as the security agencies continued an operation to dismantle what they said was an al-Shabab cell plotting attacks in this East African country.

The security agencies arrested up to 19 suspects and seized explosives as well as bomb-making materials in a raid Saturday on a suspected terrorist cell in Uganda’s capital, Kampala, said Polly Namaye, a spokeswoman for Ugandan police.

“We are calling upon owners of businesses, especially entertainment places, to intensify their security,” Namaye said.

All the suspects are of Somali origin and Ugandan police and intelligence officials are interrogating the suspects, said Ugandan military spokesman Lt. Col. Paddy Ankunda.

The officials gave no more details, saying the operation is ongoing and more suspects could be arrested.

More than a dozen men were arrested at two locations deep inside a slum in Kampala, Abdullahi Hassan Roble, who heads an association of Somalis in Uganda, told The Associated Press Monday. Security officials on Saturday raided a hotel and a flat in the Kisenyi area, known for its large Somali population, in an operation that appeared to target Somalis who had recently moved into the neighborhood, he said.

Introduction
Al-Shabab, or “The Youth,” is an al-Qaeda-linked militant group and U.S.-designated Foreign Terrorist Organization fighting for the creation of a fundamentalist Islamic state in Somalia. The group, also known as Harakat al-Shabab al-Mujahideen, and its Islamist affiliates once held sway over Mogadishu and major portions of the Somali countryside, but a sustained African Union military campaign in recent years has weakened the group considerably. Still, security analysts warn that the group remains the principal threat in a politically volatile, war-torn state.

Al-Shabab’s terrorist activities have mainly focused on targets within Somalia, but it has also proven an ability to carry out deadly strikes in the region, including coordinated suicide bombings in Uganda’s capital in 2010 and a deadly raid on a Nairobi mall in 2013. Washington fears the group, which has successfully recruited members of the Somali-American diaspora, may orchestrate strikes on U.S. soil. In recent years, the United States has pursued a two-pronged policy in Somalia: providing funding, training, and logistical support to UN-backed African forces battling al-Shabab, while escalating counterterrorism operations including Special Forces and armed drones.

Hillary and the State Dept created the Boko Haram Caliphate,
and Obama, DNC and the RINOs created the IS Caliphate.

How treasonously “sweet” that it.

What ever happened to Moochelle’s laughable #BringOurGirlsBack campaign? I guess that was only hip for a week or two.
