A radical Islamist sect has claimed responsibility for three church attacks that left at least 21 people dead in northern Nigeria.

The group known as Boko Haram made the announcement in an email statement received by AP on Monday.

This is the third weekend in a row that the group is claiming responsibility for church attacks across Nigeria.

It claimed responsibility for attacks in the first and second weekends of June that killed at least 21 people.

Sunday’s attacks hit the city of Zaria and the nearby city of Kaduna in a religious flashpoint state.

Churches have been increasingly targeted by violence in Nigeria, a nation of more than 160 million people almost equally divided between Muslims and Christians.

Boko Haram is held responsible for more than 580 deaths this year alone according to an AP count.

That's the reason we must get rid of Nigerians. They will start fighting their battles in foreign countries just like Somalis.

No surprise, the Bible predicted accurately that the Christians are going be persecuted for Jesus' sake.
