In 2011 the UN headquarters in Abuja, Nigeria was hit by a massive car
bomb. The concrete structure’s first three floors collapsed, killing 21 and
wounding 60.
Later, the Islamist militant group Boko Haram claimed responsibility for
the attack. As word spread of an American who survived the bombing, many
expected the U.S to step up its efforts to combat terrorists in
Nigeria.
But that’s not what happened, according to an explosive 5,000-word
investigative report by Mindy Belz and J.C. Derrick in WORLD
Magazine.
They allege that millions of dollars in donations to the Clinton
Foundation by Nigerian billionaires with oil interests in northern Nigeria may
have caused Secretary Clinton’s surprising disinterest in combatting Boko
Haram.
Strangely, the State Department never publicly disclosed the killing of
the American, Vernice Guthrie, on assignment with the UN Development Program,
according to WORLD.
“What followed the bombing were months stretching into years of
uncharacteristic foot-dragging by then-Secretary of State Hillary Clinton,”
WORLD notes. Even though the U.S. intervened in Libya, Syria, and other hot
spots, “Clinton resisted the pleas of lawmakers and the recommendations of both
high-level officials and Pentagon brass to designate Boko Haram a Foreign
Terrorist Organization (FTO) under U.S. law.”
One important reason for FTO designation is to provide financial tools
that allow the Department of Treasury and others to impede or halt the flow of
funding to terrorist organizations.
The State Department will not divulge documents pertaining to that
decision—and some documents may be lost due to Clinton’s questionable use of a
private server in the basement of her residence.
Could details pertaining to Nigeria be among the 30,000 emails destroyed
by Clinton’s lawyers that may reveal troubling conflicts of interest between the
Clinton Foundation and State Department decision-making?
Belz and Derrick allege that certain Nigerian businessmen—billionaires
who donated money toward both Clintons’ presidential campaigns and the Clinton
Foundation—stood to benefit in seeing Boko Haram proliferate in northern
Nigeria, where the oil fields are located.
As Boko Haram drove out legal oil exploration from the North, they
provided cover – like organized criminal gangs – for illicit oil activities
worth billions of dollars. Christian News.
