Boko-haram leader Shekau named 9 most dangerous Global terrorist

Leader of the Boko Haram Islamic sect,
Abubakar Shekau, has been named the
ninth most dangerous terrorist in the
world by a compilation published by CNN.
Shekau is one of the three Africans on the
list, which is topped by al Qaeda leader,
Ayman al-Zawahiri.
The other Africans on the list are
Somalian Al Shabaab’s leader, Ahmed
Abdi Godane, who comes at number 4
and Algerian, Moktar Belmoktar, who
heads a group called ‘Those Who Sign
With Blood’. A three-day siege on an
Algerian gas plant in January 2013 by his
fighters left nearly 40 foreign workers
dead.
The US named Shekau a Specially
Designated Global Terrorist in June 2012.
The Boko Haram leader comes behind
Sirajudin Haqqani whose Haqqani
Network, was said to be responsible for
some of the deadly attacks in Kabul,
Afghanistan.
The US government has offered up to
$7m (N1.08bn) for any information that
will reveal the location of Shekau.
