| 2014-05-17 |
| [MailonLine] Boko Haram vowed in February 2012 to assassinate Ambassador Terence McCulley if the U.S. helped Nigeria with terror-fighting efforts 'We know his house ... We know his vehicle and the time he leaves his house and the time he returns,' the group said in a communique to media The warning was similar to Ansar al-Shariah's pledge to kill U.S. officials in Benghazi, Libya, three months before the deadly 2012 terror attack there Despite clear threats, Hillary Clinton's State Department fought efforts to officially designate the mass-murdering Nigerians as a terrorist group A former State Dept. official said naming new terror groups 'sent the wrong message' about al-Qaeda and its allies as Barack Obama ran for re-election |

| #2 It's not clear why the State Department resisted adding Boko Haram to its Foreign Terrorist Organizations (FTO) list for so long. A former State Department official who served in a legal capacity under Secretary Clinton told MailOnline on Wednesday that one component of the decision was undeniably political. Everything the regime does is.... "undeniably political." |
