Nigerian Christians warned to flee Women weep over loved ones who were among the 37 killed in the Christmas Day bombings in Nigeria. A terrorist group linked to al-Qaida has set a deadline for Christians in Nigeria to flee before it responds in force to the government's state of emergency. Book Haram warned Christians living in the predominantly Muslim north that they had until the end of Wednesday to "move away" before attacks on the community. Abul Qada, the spokesman who claimed responsibility on behalf of the group for the Christmas Day bombings that killed at least 50, threatened Nigerian soldiers deployed to quell violence in the north. "Soldiers will only kill innocent Muslims in the local government areas where the state of emergency was declared," he said. President Goodluck Jonathan declared a state of emergency on Saturday in four areas hardest hit by increasing violence. Under the president's orders, security forces operating in Borno, Plateau, Niger, and Yobe states were given expanded powers to make arrests and conduct searches in an effort to track down Boko Haram insurgents. Security forces have arrested "hundreds" of "foot soldiers" in connection with the bombings last weekend, police said last Thursday, but the masterminds of the violence remain at large. Boko Haram, which means "Western education is forbidden" in the Hausa language, has staged attacks in Nigeria since 2009......na so the order reach?.......lol
