posted on January 21, 2015The Washington Post’s Fred Barbash writes, “As thousands of Nigerians and Cameroonians fled for their lives from rampaging Boko Haram fighters, the leader of the violent Islamist group reportedly bragged in a video released Tuesday about the slaughter in the town of Baga and promised that there would be more to come.” Boko Haram is responsible for the January 3 attack that killed anywhere from hundreds to 2,000 people. On Sunday, the group also attacked the village of Mabass in Cameroon, where they kidnapped up to 60 people.
