Bloodbath As Terrorists Murder 70 Christians- U.S. Finally Designates Jihadist Organization As Terror Group
Michael Carl * WND
At least 70 Christians in Nigeria have been killed in coordinated attacks by Fulani tribesmen and the Islamic jihadist organization Boko Haram.
Fulani tribesmen reportedly killed 37 Christians in at least four coordinated attacks on the same day.
Boko Haram is reported to have killed as many as 34 Christians during the same three-day period.

Stark said many leaders believe that Boko Haram and its affiliates are inciting the Fulani to attack the Christians.
The increasingly aggressive posture of the Fulani tribe is further reason for northern Nigerian Christians to be apprehensive, he said.
“It’s a fact that many Christians in northern Nigeria are forced to live in constant fear,” Stark said. “The government has proven to be either unable or unwilling to protect Christians from attacks of this nature.”
Stark said the lack of protection leaves Christians will only two options.
“They can either stay in these dangerous areas or they can abandon their homes and flee the violence,” he said.
Responding to an increasing number of Christian deaths at the hands of Boko Haram, the U. S. State Department finally announced Nov. 13 that it has designated the jihadist group and its spinoff, Ansaru, as a terrorist organization.
The State Department said the designation is an important step toward responding to the group’s increasing number of violent actions:
