>> Boko Haram cites 'un-Islamic practices' >> The second and largest mass abduction of school-aged children in Nigeria's history has the country's political leadership and law enforcement reeling. >> More than 330 boys were forcibly taken from the grounds of their school on Friday night in the northern state of Katsina in Nigeria. The jihadist group Boko Haram is claiming responsibility. The reason given: "un-Islamic practices." >> According to a short audio message shared with Nigerian media, a man claiming to be a leader of the terrorist group claimed responsibility. >> "I am Abubakar Shekau and our brothers are behind the kidnapping in Katsina," said the man. >> The message contended that Boko Haram targeted a school of 800 students because of the terror group's concern with stopping "Western" education in northern Nigeria. The jihadist group, which seeks to introduce Sharia law, takes great offense at what it calls the Western model of education.
