Mamman Nur: Al Qaeda-linked Man Behind Bomb On UN? by Beaf: 1:23pm On Aug 31, 2011 |
[size=14pt]Nigeria says al Qaeda-linked man behind bomb on U.N.[/size] Wed Aug 31, 2011 11:57am GMT ABUJA (Reuters) - Nigerian authorities said on Wednesday that a member of a local Islamist sect who has al Qaeda links orchestrated the bombing last week on the U.N. headquarters in Abuja that killed 23 people, and they declared him wanted. "Investigation has revealed that one Mamman Nur, a notorious Boko Haram element with al Qaeda links who returned recently from Somalia, working in concert with two suspects masterminded the attack on the United Nations building in Abuja," the Department of State Services said in a statement. It did not give details of how it came to this conclusion, beyond mentioning that the two Boko Haram suspects were in detention and had given "valuable statements". "We implore , the general public to cooperate with security agencies by providing useful information that could lead to the arrest of Mamman Nur, who is hereby declared wanted," it said. The bomb on Friday gutted a floor, smashed nearly all of the windows and also wounded 76 people, U.N. officials said -- one of the worst attacks on the United Nations in its history and deadlier than a 2003 blast on its offices in Baghdad that killed 22 people. Boko Haram, whose name means "Western education is sinful" in the northern Nigerian Hausa language, has become President Goodluck Jonathan's biggest security headache/ It has carried almost daily shootings or attacks with homemade bombs against security services and civilians in the remote northeast. Jonathan sought to reassure Nigerians on Tuesday that he was stepping up security to prevent more bomb attacks. The U.N. bombing marks an increase in the sophistication of Boko Haram's attacks, apparently with more powerful explosives, and an escalation from local to international targets, analysts say. Some suggest Boko Haram is developing global ambitions and may have connected with al Qaeda's North African wing. If Nigerian authorities are correct, it may also have linked up with jihadists in Somalia. Some Nigerians worry that the oil industry -- only just recovering from militancy in the southern Niger Delta region that mostly ceased with an amnesty in 2009 -- might be the next target, although moving into the mostly Christian south would prove a huge challenge for Islamist militants. "This latest attack , aimed at the U.N. indicates an internationalisation of the struggle and bears hallmarks of an al Qaeda connection," the Eurasia Group wrote on Tuesday. "While this is a worrying development for investors, including western oil companies, the oil-rich Niger Delta will be much harder terrain for Boko Haram to operate in."

lol, bull. . .propaganda at its best. This kind of story always ends up the same, external powers invading the country in the name of "fighting the war on terror". Lmao! |

Rhino.5dm: Many claimed Umar Farouk Abdulmutallab (Omar Farooq al-Nigeri) was a foreigner. He is Nigerian. Others claimed that Nigerians love life too much to engage in suicide bombing. We have now had local suicide bombings. Some adamantly claim that there is no al-qaeda in Nigeria. Well, they just bombed the UN building. While we Nigerians engage in our usual self-deception, the US, UK, Germany, France etc have closed their embassies in Abuja. Mamman Nur is every bit Nigerian, the core-North is beginning to harvest the bitter fruit of the evil almajirinci culture and the dogged, but one-eyed pursuit of sharia. What an evil combination! The marriage of an ex-gov to a 13 year old girl was just the herald of things to come. Sharia was first introduced to short-circuit Obasanjo, the South Western Christian and "infidel"; now it is a horror inspiring Frankenstein haunting all it casts its evil eye on. I can bet you that it will get worse until the core-Northern elite are swept away by the very monster they created. Only fools mix religion and politics. |

Just watch as Nairaland twerts will call the police names and say they are lieing and telling stories instead of at least wish the so called man be found. |
Re: Mamman Nur: Al Qaeda-linked Man Behind Bomb On UN? by Nobody: 2:17pm On Aug 31, 2011 |
The bitter truth is that many "Nigerians" are not Nigerians. It is the policy of the Jihardists to enter any land that catch their fancy and intimidate the owners to submission. They have been entering and are still entering and will continue to enter. For those who are so biased against Mr. President, even the capture and execution of this Mr. Nur will be interpreted as a mere propaganda. But will the bombing stop? No!. It will never stop. Look around the globe, the violent form of Islam is making bold statements across the globe. Nigeria is no exception. |

@beaf.At least you will now stop calling IBB,Buhari and Atiku as the sponsors.Again read my previous posts and you will be surprised I even guessed right with regards to the bombings. |

UN building was bombed in Sudan a decade plus ago, we knew what happened next in Sudan later!! Are Nigerians ready for what is coming? Let us take back our nation now from the hands of agents. Everybody including Igbos, Yorubas will become terrorists either by words or action and it will all be a product of our collective loss!! Someone should find beaf and kill him before it's too late!! |

mamman nur lets hope this man actually exists - not like ben jessy or chima orlu, two bombers who apparently have no family, known associates, nada we know the desperate apologists for the incompetent gej administration will do their best to spin and spell this as some sort of progress, but the rest of us who have a stake beyond government handouts and our son in office are not holding our breaths |

Since bombs started going off like fireworks, how many of the masterminds have actually being caught always 'suspects at large' or 'caught' with no conviction in sight. Bottom line, our intelligence services are incredibly inept |

NExT mOve: Hunt him down dead or live with the aid of American Intelligence (expect first bombing of targets by US drones). His photo is coming soon, they are still working on it. |
Re: Mamman Nur: Al Qaeda-linked Man Behind Bomb On UN? by Beaf: 4:03pm On Aug 31, 2011 |
^ Yeah, American drones will follow shortly. Its time for you to shiver and quake. oyb: Why isn't it surprising that you know Ben Jessy and Chima Orlu that well? . . .Even better than Nigerian and SA authorities, you should walk into the nearest SSS office and let the law take its cause. |
Re: Mamman Nur: Al Qaeda-linked Man Behind Bomb On UN? by Nobody: 4:11pm On Aug 31, 2011 |
Beaf: instead of running round nl like a rabid dig/headless chicken, why dont you take some time off licking gej's nuts and ask him when the october 1 bombers will be brought to justice its a year now - or should we wait for him to complete a 'beaf year in office' first? i wonder how a semi retired end terrorist and former okah acolyte gets off on saying oyb knows orlu and jessy. are you not the thug who was celebrating the warri bombings and bunkering and okah? pathetic murderer and miserable excuse for a human being you and your dunce in aso rock are a disgrace to the ND. its really sad that the ND has such ailed human beings as its most visible representatives |
Re: Mamman Nur: Al Qaeda-linked Man Behind Bomb On UN? by bisiaet: 4:16pm On Aug 31, 2011 |
Tell me what happened to the following suspects, Whaaooow so Raymond Dokpesi made the list also wonderful. |
Re: Mamman Nur: Al Qaeda-linked Man Behind Bomb On UN? by Beaf: 4:19pm On Aug 31, 2011 |
oyb: Oga, why is a simple question so annoying to you na? How have you come to know Ben Jessy and Chima Orlu that well? How did you determine such intimate details about their families? Are you linked to them? Maybe you need to walk into a Jo'burg office to be interrogated by SA authorities who are looking for these miscreants? You might try the nearest SSS office , tho; its much easier. |
Re: Mamman Nur: Al Qaeda-linked Man Behind Bomb On UN? by Nobody: 4:28pm On Aug 31, 2011 |
Beaf: oyb: i know you are less than a simpleton, but you do realise that criminals can always be traced through associates family, etc? perhaps you have forgotten that tat was what your heroic sss did with Okah's brother last year? we know you are a sycophant and apologist for incompetence. if you have nothing smart to say, go and post some more inane SAT x threads anyway, why should i be surprised, this is the same sort of reasoning we can expect from ringim and co - the gej administration, govt of dullards, by dullards, for dullards. beaf is clearly in the company of his contemporaries. the ones who parade civil contractors as bombers. dude, keep running up and down - it i clear to the whole world now, ad not just nl, [size=18pt]GEJ IS A FAILURE IN ALL RAMIFICATIONS[/size]. since you keep posting about how boko haram are present in govt agencies, maybe you should tell us how you know. anyway, you are a semi retired terrorist, so i guess you guys know how to identify each other - lazy, shiftless, hypocritical, belligerent and always blaming others for your failures. |
Re: Mamman Nur: Al Qaeda-linked Man Behind Bomb On UN? by Beaf: 4:38pm On Aug 31, 2011 |
^ Lol! Why should my simple questions be so annoying to you? Enh bros? How have you come to know Ben Jessy and Chima Orlu that well? How did you determine such intimate details about their families? Are you linked to them? You even have a choice between Jo'burg or Abuja to report yourself. Choose who you like to be interrogated by, SA authorities or SSS officers; I mean life couldn't be cushier! |
