Revelation 6:3-4 NCV When the Lamb opened the second seal, I heard the second living creature say, "Come!" Then another horse came out, a red one. Its rider was given power to take away peace (prosperity, rest) from the earth and to make people kill each other (butcher, slaughter, to maim violently, in streets), and he was given a big sword (assassins sword, terrorist, loud, mighty, sore afraid).
Islamic extremist group Boko Haram attacked the Nigerian town of Damasak and left at least 70 people dead with local officials saying the death toll could top 100.
A witness told Reuters that a mass grave with the bodies was found under a concrete bridge after the terrorists were driven out of the town by Niger and Chadian troops.
“There are about 100 bodies spread around, under the bridge just outside of town,” Chad military spokesman Colonel Azem Bermandoa Agouna told AFP. “This is the work of Boko Haram.”
Agouna said that the killings likely happened two months ago because body parts are basically mummified from the desert conditions.
“There are heads here and bodies there,” Agouna explained. “The mass grave has become like a termite mound.”
Residents say that Boko Haram kidnapped at least 400 women and children from the town before they withdrew on Tuesday.
The retreat from the town is the latest by Boko Haram. The terrorists also withdrew from the town of Bama but committed a mass killing of their wives before they left the town so that they could not be married to non-Muslims.
