Abubakar Shekau Declared 9th Most Dangerous Terrorist In The World

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 U.S 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.
