Two years on from the bloody and destructive suicide attack on a United Nations (U.N.) facility in Abuja, Nigeria, the Nigerian terrorist organization Boko Haram continues to pose a threat to both the United States and our allies. Since that attack, Boko Haram has received increased international attention, has carried out near-daily attacks throughout much of Nigeria, and has taken part in operations in other parts of West Africa. They remain a lethal and growing threat to the people of Nigeria, the international community, Americans in the region, and potentially the United States Homeland. This book discusses Boko Haram’s growing and emerging threat to the U.S. Homeland and provides statements from a hearing on “Boko Haram: Emerging Threat to the U.S. Homeland.” (Imprint: Nova)
