Assault Rifles, Ammunition Intercepted in Nigeria

ICC Note

The rifles and the ammunition were heading to Jos. This is another evidence of how Muslim radicals are planning another massacre of Christians.

08/18/2010 Nigeria (The Associated Press)-Officials with Nigeria’s security services say they’ve intercepted 52 Kalashnikov rifles and more than 1,700 rounds of ammunition rounds heading for an area that has been the scene of religious violence.

Ahmed says the weapons were heading for Jos, the epicenter of religious violence in Nigeria’s “middle belt,” where dozens of ethnic groups vie for control of fertile lands. Hundreds of Christians and Muslims have died in fighting there this year alone.
