The Muslims Are Restless

From the BBC:

Fighters from the Islamist militant group Boko Haram have launched an attack on the key city of Maiduguri in north-eastern Nigeria, reports say. 

Fierce fighting was reported on the outskirts. The military is carrying out air strikes, and a curfew is in place. 

Maiduguri is home to tens of thousands of people who have fled Boko Haram attacks and was visited on Saturday by President Goodluck Jonathan. 

Another Boko Haram attack was reported in Monguno, north of Maiduguri.
