Boko Haram Now After GSM Phone Masts In Nigeria

MTN and Airtel are reporting that their mobile phone masts are coming under attack from gunmen in northern Nigeria who may be trying to elude police trackers through their phones.
10 masts were burned down on Wednesday morning in Kano and Maiduguri where Islamists are waging a low-level insurgency against the Goodluck Jonathan government.

Destruction of the phone masts disrupted mobile service for local residents.
In Kano the men who destroyed MTN and Airtel mobile phone masts in the early hours of Wednesday were on motorbikes, a policeman told Reuters, asking not to be named and he said their suspect is Boko Haram.
