Some 20,000 people have been killed in Boko Haram's eight-year insurgency.

More evidence is arising to show that the pilot of Flight 804 went suicide. He
did some bizarre things. He converted the plane into a makeshift mosque, used the equipment to tell passengers the direction of Mecca. Had a last supper and said “farewell” as if ‘we who are about to die salute you’. He called his brother before take-off telling him to ‘pray for him’ as he was going for martyrdom. He had connections with one of the most radical preachers and terror supporters in Egypt. (link)

ISIS Maniacs Take Car Bombing to Next Level with 'Suicide Tanker Bomb'

| 26 January 2015 | Reaganite Republican

For a group with so

Where did the ISIS artillery go? But it's not just any old Corolla packed with explosives they're using, the Islamists have developed a 'suicide...
