TERRORISM

Police in Nigeria say a girl as young as 10 detonated a bomb that killed her and 19 others, while injuring 18.

Morten Storm, who spied on al Qaeda for Western governments, says other such cells could be in place across Europe.

The loosely organized hacking group says it will target the social media accounts of “terrorists.”

If al Qaeda is behind the shootings, it could signal more attacks on Western targets, but it wouldn't necessarily mean the terrorism group is making a major comeback.

The Yemen branch of al Qaeda claimed responsibility for the attack at weekly satirical magazine Charlie Hebdo in Paris on Wednesday.

Shortly before being killed by special forces, one of the Charlie Hebdo attackers spoke to a reporter.

The al Qaeda preacher had previously called for the killing of Charlie Hebdo's editor, Stephane Charbonnier.

Jabhat al-Nusra militants on Wednesday demolished the tomb of Imam Nawawi, a thirteenth-century Islamic scholar.

It is unclear whether the shooting is connected to the Charlie Hebdo attack on Wednesday.

It is not clear which militant group the attackers belonged to or whether the attack on Charlie Hebdo was a “lone-wolf” one.

The kidnappings come just days after a senior ISIS 'police' official was found murdered.

Charlie Hebdo, the French publication that was fatally attacked on Wednesday, provoked a wide assortment of religious and political controversy.

Nigeria's booming economy and upcoming elections are threatened by challenges from Boko Haram.

The man was an Egyptian national and was known as the deputy "emir" of the al-Hesbah force in a Syrian province.
