Nigerian publisher on terrorist charges

A Nigerian newspaper publisher is facing up to 15 years in prison after being charged with belonging to the virtually unheard of terrorist group known as the Nigerian Taliban. Mohammed Damagun, a director of Media Trust , the publishers of the Daily Trust, has pleaded not guilty to three charges of terrorism. He is alleged to have received $300,000 (£153,000) from the Sudan-based Al-Qaeda world network, which he is alleged to have deposited in a British bank to finance terrorism. (Via IOL.West Africa)
