Captive Women: Islamists Prayed Before Raping...

DALORI (Nigeria): Hundreds of women and girls captured by Boko Haram have been raped, many repeatedly, in what officials and relief workers describe as a deliberate strategy to dominate rural residents and possibly even create a new generation of Islamist militants in Nigeria. In interviews, the women described being locked in houses by the dozen, at the beck and call of fighters who forced them to have sex, sometimes with the specific goal of impregnating them. "They married me," said Hamsatu, 25, a young woman in a black-and-purple head scarf, looking down at the ground. She said she was four months pregnant, that the father was a Boko Haram member and that she had been forced to have sex with other militants who took control of her town. "They chose the ones they wanted to marry," added Hamsatu, whose full name was not used to protect her identity. "If anybody shouts, they said they would shoot them." http://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/world/rest-of-world/Boko-Haram-militants-raped-hundreds-of-female-captives-in-Nigeria/articleshow/47340316.cms
