Boko Haram Twitter account which
was opened recently and has been used to circulate
videos and photos of attacks
carried out in some Northern parts of the country has been suspended today by Twitter.
It will be recalled that Abubakar Shekau recently shifted his base to the
social media site since most of the videos he puts on youtube are usually
brought down after a while.
Some of the videos he posted on
the account before it was brought down today were hosted on sendvid before he
then pastes them on twitter while images were hosted on Justpaste.it with
messages in Arabic, English or Hausa language following it.
Al-Shabaab, a
militant Somali
group, Islamic Jihad Union, Indian Mujahideen, and Al-Qaida, have all used
twitter in the past, but were all yanked off, due to violent messages the groups
usually posts.
