In this Nov. 12, 2010, photo, an unidentified man stand on the remains of the destroyed Boko Haram mosque in Maiduguri, Nigeria. In northeastern Nigeria, far from the battlegrounds of Afghanistan, a group known as the "Nigerian Taliban" is waging war against a government it refuses to recognize. The radical Muslim sect called Boko Haram was thought to be vanquished in 2009, when Nigeria's military crushed this mosque into concrete shards, and its leader was arrested and died in police custody. But now, Maiduguri and surrounding villages again live in fear of the group, whose members have assassinated police and local leaders and engineered a massive prison break, officials say. / AP Photo
