Boko Haram analyzes the activities and atrocities of Nigeria's
Jihadi terrorist group, Boko Haram, in the context of global
religious fundamentalism and extremism. The book traces the early
beginnings of the religious sect, the conversion of its leader to
radical Islam in 2002, and the group's campaign of violence
beginning in 2009 and continuing to the present. The group's
attacks against a variety of targets are examined in detail as are
their general tactics and strategies. The Nigerian government
response is also examined in order to provide critical lessons to
counterterrorism planners, policy and government officials, and
scholars. The initial military response was hampered by capability
and legislative constraints including a lack of arms and
ammunition, a lack of modern counterterrorism equipment, training
gaps, leadership issues, intelligence gaps, politicization of the
conflict, and limited support to the Nigerian military by the
international community. Boko Haram looks at the work that has been
done thus far, and what work needs to continue, to make gains to
combat, marginalize, and ultimately defeat Boko Haram and resolve
the conflict facing Nigeria. Key features: Outlines the history of
Boko Haram and its emergence in Nigeria Provides the latest
developments on fundamentalism in Nigeria, the growth of Boko Haram
and the government response Focuses on the attacks, attack
methodology and targeting of Boko Haram, addressing best-practice
countermeasures Examines Boko Haram's ties to other Islamist groups
including ISIL/ISIS and others Details the importance for
international cooperation in responding to Boko Haram's activities
and threats. About the Author: Dr. Ona Ekhomu, CFE, CPP, CSP, PCI,
