(ANSA) - Rome, December 27 - Italian Foreign Minister Giulio Terzi on Tuesday urged the international community to avert a fresh wave of violence in Nigeria after Christmas Day bomb attacks on Christian churches that killed dozens.
The attacks, by an Islamist terrorist sect called Boko Haram, "must not be the spark for a fresh wave of violence," Terzi said. "It is up to the international community to do its utmost to avert it," he said, urging the United Nations to "do more" to defend freedom of religion.
Terzi said Boko Haram, "half sect, half militant terrorist organisation that refuses Western traditions" had become "extremely dangerous, with widespread and repeated attacks since its leader was killed two years ago".
The area where leader Imam Mohammed Yusuf was killed by Nigerian security forces in 2009 had seen more than 700 deaths, Terzi recalled.
