Boko Haram Report
Human Rights watch said terrorist sect Boko Haram has killed at least 935 people since it launched an uprising in 2009, including more than 250 in the first weeks of this year.
The report released today said 550 people were killed in 115 separate attacks by Boko Haram last year, mostly in Borno state, where the sect was founded in 2002.
In July 2009, the sect launched an uprising in the northeast in which more than 800 people were killed in five days of fighting with security forces.
The group has claimed responsibility for bombing churches, police stations, military facilities, banks and beer parlours in the mainly Muslim north of Nigeria.
