A Muslim group in Nigeria identifying itself as Jama’atu Ahlus-Sunnah Lidda’Awati Wal Jihad said it carried out Christmas Eve attacks on the cities of Jos and Maiduguri that killed at least 86 people.
The group is “avenging the atrocities committed against Muslims in those areas, and the country in general,” according to a statement on its website. “Therefore we will continue with our attacks on disbelievers and their allies and all those who help them.”
