Boko Haram: No to talks with Nigerian government

A spokesman for the terrorist group Boko Haram said Wednesday the door for negotiations with the government of Nigeria is no longer open. The spokesman who goes by the name of Abul Qaqa told the Daily Trust Boko Haram "would never listen to any call to lay down our arms." "We would never respect any proposal for dialogue," Qaqa said. "In fact, we have closed all possible doors of negotiation." He said Boko Haram would continue its campaign until it achieves its goal of establishing an Islamic government in Nigeria. In the latest attack two civilians were killed and a third person was injured at the Freedom Radio junction in the northern city of Kano, the Nigerian Tribune reported. The three were playing cards when suspected Boko Haram members riding motorcycles began shooting sporadically. By the time police arrived the attackers had fled.
