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).
At least 44 were killed when Boko Haram attacked a mosque in northeast Nigeria.
Terrorists opened fire during dawn prayers on Sunday morning in Konduga, 22 miles from Borno’s state capital Maiduguri. Hospital officials in Maiduguri say 26 people are being treated for injuries.
Officials also say that 12 civilians were shot dead at nearby Ngom village.
BBC reporter Will Ross says that while Boko Haram usually targets Christian churches they have also launched assaults on mosques.
News of the attack is reaching the media as Boko Haram leader Abubakar Shekau claimed a series of recent attacks on police and military were from his organization. Shekau, who has a $7 million bounty on his head from the U.S., issued challenges to western leaders and showed footage of Boko Haram terrorists opening fire on the military.
