Boko Haram plots suicide bombing Oct 1 -Intelligence Report •CBN, NNPC Towers, Transcorp Hilton Hotel, Federal Secretariat prime targets •As FG puts security agencies on red alert

THE terrorist Islamic group, Boko Haram, appears not willing to let go of its sinister plot to wreak a monumental havoc on the nation to avenge the military onslaught against the group, with intelligence report showing that the group has earmarked between Monday, September 26 and Saturday, October 1, 2011, when Nigeria would be celebrating its 51st independence, as the period to hit some of their selected targets.
Nigerian Tribune  gathered that security agencies have unmasked plots by the group to use two brand of vehicles, a Nissan Sunny salon car with registration Abuja-CL 735 ABJ and an Audi  new model with Kaduna number plate, as the cars with which to possibly carry out their next suicide attacks on ‘very important government targets’ in the Federal Capital Territory.
Among these targets, the source said, are the NNPC Towers in Abuja; Central Bank of Nigeria headquarters; the Federal Ministry of Finance; Transcorp Hilton Hotel, Army barracks and mammy markets in Abuja; Federal Secretariat Complex; the National Assembly; Supreme Court; Office of the Secretary to the Government of the Federation and the Nigeria Police headquarters.
It was reliably gathered by security agencies that their target at the Police Headquarters is yet to be accomplished, even after the earlier attack in June this year.
Subsequently, Nigerian Tribune gathered that a new security alert has gone out to all military, police and other security agencies to be alive to their responsibilities and not switch off for any moment as the sect appeared determined to carry out their destardly act.
Asked if states earmarked for attack by the group particularly those in the Niger Delta should downgrade the threat by the sect, now that it had narrowed its plots to attacking government assets in Abuja, the security source said.
“It will be a big mistake as the group was very good at elements of surprise. When you begin to think all is well, that their minds were focused on a different target, that is when they strike at you.”
Also, Nigerian Tribune gathered that an army general has been assigned following controversies over the release of one of the Boko Haram’s leader, Ali Tishau, who was purportedly released to one of the military security agencies by the police from where he gained his freedom.
The source said that the government had taken a serious view of the action of the said general, as his organisation is one of those government was looking up to seriously to help it in tackling the Boko Haram menace in the country.
