Boko Haram Brings New Offensive in Nigeria

Reports out of Maiduguri, Nigeria have at least fifteen explosions going off today.

One of them was at the post office, at least ten people died there alone.

Another explosion hit a grade school, scorching the building, but there was no word of injuries there.

At a busy intersection, a gun wielding man walked up to a traffic officer and shot him.

The violence has caused the military to block streets and install checkpoints.

Boko Haram, an Islamist group that wishes to see the entire country under Shariah law, has claimed responsibility for the attacks, as part of a new offensive.

 Nigerian police are bragging that in Minna they were able to stop and defuse an IED attack.
