Osama Bin Laden was in contact with Boko Haram

Ever wondered how far the links of Boko Haram go? Well, documents found after Osama was killed last year show that Boko Haram had some contact with Osama Bin Laden. This also also means they are in direct contact with Al-Quada.

Read as reported by Guardian, UK.
Bin Laden appears to have been in direct or indirect communication with Nigerian-based militant group Boko Haram as well as many other militant outfits. As with the Taliban, the question of whether Boko Haram, which has been responsible for a series of suicide attacks and bombings in the last year, is in touch with al-Qaida or one of its affiliates has been hotly debated by analysts.
But documents in the cache show that leaders of the Nigerian group had been in contact with top levels of al-Qaida in the past 18 months – confirming claims made to the Guardian in January by a senior Boko Haram figure.


Other papers in the haul are now likely to be declassified. They include memos apparently dictated by Bin Laden urging followers to avoid indiscriminate attacks which kill Muslims and pondering a rebranding of al-Qaida under a new name.
The documents include memos stating broad strategic aims but little "hands-on" planning, according to sources.
