A video shared by social media accounts linked to Boko Haram on Monday depict the execution of two men by members of the extremist Islamist group, mirroring the gruesome tactic that has become synonymous with ISIS. This is the latest move by Boko Haram in an attempt to more closely align itself with ISIS, which controls swathes of land in Iraq and Syria. Boko Haram, which was founded in 2002, has long rejected Western secular society and attempted to impose Shariah law — an Islamic legal system based on the Koran and fatwas — and increase its territory under a self-proclaimed Islamic caliphate. http://on.mash.to/1zBtHpr http://bit.ly/1fJ5yqZ
