Religious Bombings in Nigeria Kill 63, (2 Articles)

[From 1st article]
"Boko Haram wants to implement strict Shariah law across Nigeria, an oil-rich nation of more than 160 million which has a predominantly Christian south and a Muslim north. Its name means "Western education is sacrilege" in the local Hausa language, but instead of schooling, it rejects Western ideals like Nigeria's U.S.-styled democracy that followers believe have destroyed the country with corrupt politicians."

[From 2nd article]
"If claimed by Boko Haram, the attacks would be the most bold and coordinated ever carried out by the group, whose name means “Western education is sacrilege.” In August, Boko Haram claimed responsibility for a suicide car bombing at the United Nations headquarters in Nigeria’s capital, which killed 24 people and left another 116 wounded.
The group has carried out an increasingly bloody sectarian fight with Nigeria’s weak central government, seeking to put strict Shariah law in place in the oil-rich nation."
