BAUCHI, Nigeria (AP) — A little-known Islamic extremist group claimed responsibility Monday for the kidnapping of seven foreign workers from northern Nigeria, threatening their safety if anyone tried to intervene and free them.
The group that calls itself Ansaru issued a short statement, obtained by The Associated Press, in which it said its fighters kidnapped the foreigners Saturday night from a construction company's camp at Jama'are, a town about 200 kilometers (125 miles) north of Bauchi, the capital of Bauchi state.
Authorities said those kidnapped include one British citizen, one Greek, one Italian, three Lebanese and one Filipino, all employees of a Lebanese construction company called Setraco.
The statement said Ansaru committed the abduction "based on the transgression and atrocities shown to the religion of Allah by the European countries in many places such as Afghanistan and Mali." Currently, the French military is conducting operations with the Malian army to rout Islamic fighters who took over that country's north in the weeks after a military coup there last year.
"It is stressed that any attempt or act contrary to our conditions by the European nations or by the Nigerian government will" endanger the hostages, the statement read. The statement offered no conditions, suggesting the group would later contact authorities to make a ransom demand.
Police and security officials in Nigeria did not immediately respond the statement. Greek and Italian diplomats have confirmed their citizens were abducted. Britain's Foreign Office said Monday it is aware of reports that a number of foreign nationals including a British national were abducted. It said the Foreign Office is in contact with the Nigerian authorities.
The U.S. Embassy in Nigeria's capital, Abuja, issued a statement earlier Monday saying none of those taken were U.S. citizens.
In January 2012 Ansaru declared itself a breakaway group from Boko Haram, the north's main terrorist group, analysts say. Boko Haram, whose name means "Western education is sacrilege," has launched a guerrilla campaign of bombings and shootings across Nigeria's predominantly Muslim north. Boko Haram is blamed for at least 792 killings last year alone, according to an AP count.
Ansaru's aims are unknown — but they have a different message from Boko Haram, according to Raffaello Pantucci, a senior research fellow at the Royal United Services Institute in London.
"They seem to disagree with some of Boko Haram's strategies — in particular, they disagreed with Boko Haram's tendency to kill Muslims," Pantucci said. "They seem to be more internationally focused, they talk a lot more in global jihad terms and they seem very eager to cultivate that side of their image. It makes them more dangerous."
An analysis published Monday by Stratfor, a U.S.-based private global intelligence firm, suggested Ansaru had stronger ties with al-Qaida in the Islamic Maghreb, the Africa branch of the terror network. It warned that there likely will be more attacks by Ansaru targeting Westerners and Western interests in Nigeria, as well as neighboring nations.
"Kidnappings in northern Nigeria probably will become more frequent," Stratfor warned. "As al-Qaida in the Islamic Maghreb comes under more pressure in northern Mali, it will use all available means, including its affiliate groups, to continue its insurgency."
The attack Saturday in Jama'are saw gunmen first assault a local prison and burn police trucks, authorities said. Then the attackers blew up a back fence at the construction company's compound and took over, killing a guard in the process, witnesses and police said.
The gunmen appeared to be organized and knew who they wanted to target, a local construction worker who witnessed the attack told the AP. He said the Nigerian household staff members at the residence were left unharmed, while the foreigners were quickly abducted. The worker spoke on condition of anonymity as he's not authorized to speak to journalists.
Nigerian President Goodluck Jonathan, in a statement issued Monday through his office, condemned the attack and said he ordered security agencies to "take all necessary action" to locate and rescue the abducted construction workers.
"He assures the relatives of the kidnapped foreign workers as well as the governments of their countries that the federal government and its security agencies are doing everything possible to find their abductors and ensure the safe release of all those they abducted," the statement issued by spokesman Reuben Abati read.
The Ansaru statement hinted that it would kill the hostages and vaguely referenced a previous kidnapping. The group earlier claimed the kidnapping in December of a French national working on a renewal energy project in Nigeria's northern Katsina state.
Britain also linked Ansaru to the May 2011 kidnapping of Christopher McManus, who was abducted with Italian Franco Lamolinara from a home in Kebbi state. The men were held for months, before their captors killed in March 2012 them during a failed Nigerian military raid backed up by British special forces in Sokoto, the main city in Nigeria's northwest.
Authorities initially blamed Boko Haram for the kidnapping, something that it denied. That apparently represented the public's first brush with the group, whose motivations remain murky, but whose threat is increasingly real for foreigners in northern Nigeria.
In November, Britain's interior ministry announced that a parliamentary order that makes membership in or support of Ansaru a criminal offense.

Hey Gary, this new forum isn't your creation, is it?
Just curious if the founder was you, or someone using the same screen name. The watches posted on it didn't seem to be consistent with your usual tastes.

Is Rolex a vintage watch?
Did omega make a watch with an orange face ?
Hi Rich
That confused me as well. You type your post with whatever images you want and then post it. It will give you some fields as the next step which you can fill in. Hope this helps.
Hi Gary
How do I post a poll on this forum? I can see the option at the bottom that asks for how many fields, but how do I select what the fields will be?

Equity analysts for Standard & Poor's on Wednesday presented a third-quarter earnings outlook that took note of a vast gap between their expectations for record double-digit earnings versus investors' loss of faith in analysts' optimistic earnings forecasts.
While S&P 500 corporations are expected to report healthy aggregate third-quarter earnings per share, for the eighth consecutive quarter of double-digit earnings growth, the theme for Q3 will be earnings in "an unprecedented high-risk environment," said Robert Keiser, vice president with S&P Capital IQ Valuation and Risk Strategies Research, during an earnings outlook webinar.
The U.S. economy is not yet in recession, Keiser said, "but we're getting a lot of mixed signals. Investors will often take the view that 'this time things are different,' but you have to admit that since 2008, many things about the economy are truly quite different. The performance of S&P 500 companies will tell us in aggregate whether the economy is entrenched in a recession."
Sovereign credit contagion in Europe is feeding investors' fear of a global run on banks, which government leaders must short circuit—both at home and abroad, said Keiser, who pointed to S&P's downgrade this summer of U.S. debt. "So long as Europe's debt problems are unresolved, this uncertainty is not going to go away."
Keiser's other concerns for the U.S. economy include a lack of job creation, a weak housing market and a massive dilution of the money supply due to the Federal Reserve's two rounds of quantitative easing.
That said, the analysts on the webinar pointed to S&P Capital IQ's expectations for yet another banner quarter for U.S. stocks, thanks in part to surprisingly strong consumer retail sales, which have grown every month in 2011 except for May.
"We want to keep an eye on how the consumer contributes to GDP going forward," Keiser said, adding that his economic outlook calls for 1.5% to 2% annual growth in gross domestic product. "We believe the market is fundamentally cheap right now," he said.
Equity analyst Christine Short said earnings results have been a positive this year for the economy, but noted that S&P Capital IQ's expectations on Tuesday of 13.47% average Q3 growth dropped to 13.02% overnight.
"This is still a robust number and our eighth consecutive quarter of double-digit growth in earnings," Short said.
Financial companies are responsible for the lowered expectations, Short said, with a 12% drop in earnings anticipated since July 1 to 15% from 3%. The two primary culprits in the downgraded expectations for the sector are capital markets and insurance companies, with Goldman Sachs seen declining significantly since July. Bright spots for the sector include consumer finance companies such as American Express and commercial banks such as PNC.
Nevertheless, the analysts expect earnings of $24.95 per share in Q3 versus $25.44 per share in Q2—which was an all-time record earnings season. Barring a massive global crisis, S&P Capital IQ predicts earnings will hit $30 per share by the end of 2012.
The problem, though, is that the stock market is not tracking those optimistic earnings expectations, Keiser conceded.
"Investors who don't believe in the future are voting with their pocketbooks and exiting the stock market," he said. "So we're seeing record earnings, yet investors lack confidence in this environment and are seeking safe havens out of stocks. Clearly, investors are pricing in something closer to recession."
Separately, S&P Indices announced Wednesday that dividend increases rose 17.1% during Q3 2011, with 350 issues increasing dividends versus the 299 that did so during the third quarter of 2010. Of the approximately 7,000 publicly owned companies that report dividend information, only 23 decreased their dividend payment during the third quarter of 2011 versus 35 this time last year.
"Dividends continue to battle back, adding 14.5% to their indicated rate this year, but still 6.8% shy of their all-time June 2008 high," said Howard Silverblatt, senior index analyst at S&P Indices, in a statement. "Payout rates, which historically average 52%, remain near their lows at under 30%, with strong cash flow giving companies considerable room to increase payments. Part of the reason for the low payouts appears to be the uncertainty over the economy, which prevents companies from making long-term dividend commitments."

I always thank my readers for sending in comments that give me leads to areas of online genealogy that I have yet to explore. Nan Bailey sent me a link to the FIBIS Wiki. FIBIS stands for Families in British India Society.
This Wiki opens up an important area of British research. Here is a description of the site:
Fibiwiki is a wiki where you can share information useful to people researching ancestors in India. It not only contains guides to help you research, but also lists sources, and general background information about the culture, society and history of India during the period from 1600 to 1947.Here is a screenshot of the Families in British India Society's main website:
This points out a particularly important point about genealogical research; you will never be able to even become aware of all the marvelous records there are in the world to help you in your research. I make this comment to those of us who think they know everything and have looked everywhere.
