Nigerian Airforce Pilot Reportedly Beheaded By Boko Haram [See Photo]

A new video is reported to have
been released to AP by Boko Haram
men showing the beheading of a
man said to be a military pilot who
co-piloted the missing Naval air
force jet.
The video also shows burnt out
plane parts with Nigerian military
markings. Two pilots and an Alpha
jet have been missing since Sept.
11. Below is the report from AP…
A new video allegedly shows Boko
Haram leader Abubakar Shekau
disputing claims of his death, and
the beheading of a man who
identifies himself as the pilot of a
missing Nigerian Air Force jet.
It shows burnt out plane parts with
Nigerian military markings, the
first indication that Nigeria’s
homegrown Islamic extremists have
the capability to shoot down
aircraft.
The man beheaded with an axe
identifies himself as a wing
commander, saying he has not seen
his second pilot since the jet was
shot down.
Before his beheading, the pilot
reportedly gave his name, rank and
date of birth, which is 1975 and
also said
“I’m a pilot of the Nigerian air-
force. On September 11th, I was
assigned on a mission to Kawuri,
Borno state. During the mission we
were shot down and our aircraft
crashed.
To this day, I don’t know the
whereabouts of my second pilot. I
was taken into the care of (Boko
Haram). At the time of the crash, I
sustained cuts and broken hand
and some other injuries to the
head.
After saying this, the pilot was
forced to the ground and his head
chopped off with a pick axe.
The pilot is said to be a Wing
Commander
