Boko
Haram Islamic extremists’ new leader has threatened to bomb churches and kill
Christians while ending attacks on mosques and markets used by ordinary
Muslims, according to an interview published Wednesday by Daesh.
He
also says there is a Western plot to Christianize the region and has accused
charities of using their aid for that, according to a SITE Intelligence Group
translation of an interview published Wednesday in the Daesh newspaper
al-Nabaa.
The
newspaper identified Abu Musab al-Barnawi as the new “Wali,” or governor, of
its so-called West Africa Province. The “Wali” title was previously used to
describe long-time Boko Haram leader Abubakar Shekau.
The
interview with al-Barnawi indicates a major shift in strategy for the Nigerian
extremists, who have killed many more Muslims than Christians in attacks in
mosques with suicide bombers and gunmen.
