Two More Suspected Terrorists On Nigerian Army Wanted List Nabbed

Troops of the Nigerian Army and officials of the Nigeria Police Force have arrested two more suspected terrorists whose images were among the 100 declared wanted weeks ago.

One of the suspected terrorists was arrested in an unprecedented development on Tuesday by troops of 101 Task Force Battalion, 7 Division Garrison, along Lagos Street in Maiduguri, Borno State, north-east Nigeria.

A Statement by the Defence headquarters said the suspect, who gave his name as Abubakar Sadiq, works as a night watchman to one Muhammad Daggash.

“A closer look at him shows that he is suspect number 28 among the suspected Boko Haram terrorists that were declared wanted by the Nigerian Army last month,” the statement read.

The Defence Headquarters further stated that officials of the Nigeria Police, Borno State Command, also arrested another suspected Boko Haram kingpin, Mohammed Usman, at Abuja Talakawa Ward of Maiduguri metropolis, on Tuesday.

The suspect marched the photograph of suspect number 40 on a poster containing the photographs of the 100 wanted suspected Boko Haram terrorists.

He was arrested after painstaking effort and tracking by the police, the Defence Headquarters stated.

Two More Paris Attackers Identified

French prosecutors said Monday they had identified two more Paris attackers, including a Syrian and a Frenchman who was previously charged in a “terrorist” case.

A suicide bomber who blew himself up outside the Stade de France stadium is believed to be Syrian Ahmad Al Mohammad from Idlib.

A statement from the prosecutor’s office said the Syrian passport found in that name near the body “remains to be verified”, but that fingerprints matched those taken in Greece in October.

The second was 28-year-old Samy Amimour, from the suburb of Drancy outside Paris.

He was involved in the massacre of 89 people in the Bataclan concert hall, one of a spate of attacks on nightlife spots late on Friday which left 129 dead and hundreds injured.

Amimour “is known to anti-terrorist investigators for being charged on October 19, 2012 for conspiracy to commit terrorism” over a planned attack in Yemen that was foiled.

He violated his judicial supervision in 2013, prompting judges to issue an international arrest warrant.

His family told AFP, in an interview before Friday’s attacks in Paris took place, that he had gone to Syria in 2013.

Three members of Amimour’s family were taken into custody early on Monday, said the statement.
