Miguel Sanchez Posted June 6, 2021 Author Share Posted June 6, 2021 Week 23 update Another week, another lack of updates on yon Boko Haram lad. Nothing confirmed yet. Even outside of the UK press there doesn't seem to be anything confirmed, it's all claimed, alleged, reported. I think I'll be kicking this can down the road for another week. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like the "acting head" part. You have to follow HR policy even in a jihad. Don't just pick the latest blood thirsty zealot. Follow a process, see who's out there.
