"Why we attacked UN building" - Boko Haram

The Yusifiyya movement popularly known as Boko Haram, said that the reasons why they attacked the United Nations building in Abuja is because United States and the UN were supporting the Federal government of Nigeria in persecuting Muslims all over the country.

One Abu Kakah, who spoke on behalf of the spokesman of the group, while addressing newsmen in Maiduguri via the telephone said they considered the United States , the UN and the Nigeria government as a common enemy and such they would continue to attack them because they are infringing on the right of the Muslims.
