A
message allegedly from the head of Nigeria’s Boko Haram terror
group Saturday pledged his group’s allegiance to Islamic State.
The
pledge to IS came in an Arabic audio message with English subtitles
alleged to have come from Boko Haram leader Abubakar Shekau and
posted Saturday on Twitter, according to the SITE Intelligence
monitoring service.
"We
announce our allegiance to the Caliph of the Muslims ... and will
hear and obey in times of difficulty and prosperity, in hardship and
ease, and to endure being discriminated against, and not to dispute
about rule with those in power, except in case of evident infidelity
regarding that which there is a proof from Allah," said the
message. IS leader Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi has declared himself the
caliph.
The
message was posted on Twitter, hours after Boko Haram was blamed for
four suicide bomb attacks in northeastern Nigeria that killed at
least 54 people and wounded more than 140 people.
The
pledge comes as the Nigerian militants reportedly are massing in a
northeastern town for a showdown with a multinational force that has
dislodged them from a score of towns in recent weeks.
