Muslims expand attacks in Nigeria....

They are now targeting two new states....

Muslim rebels attacked Nigerian police stations in two northeastern states overnight, killing at least one fireman, a day after more than 50 people died in clashes in Bauchi state, sources said on Monday.

The leader of the small Islamic group Boko Haram, which opposes Western education and demands the adoption of sharia law in all of Nigeria, threatened further attacks against security forces.

"Democracy and the current system of education must be changed otherwise this war that is yet to start would continue for long," Ustaz Mohammed Yusuf was quoted as saying in an interview with Nigeria's Daily Trust.

"We don't have a quarrel with the public, only the authorities."
