Nigeria sect leader criticises Obama over terrorist label

The suspected leader of Nigerian Islamist group Boko Haram criticised US President Barack Obama in an online video on Saturday over Washington's decision to label him a "global terrorist".

"You said I'm a global terrorist, then you are a terrorist in the next world," Abubakar Shekau said in the video posted on YouTube while speaking of Obama. The clip could not be independently verified as authentic, but it was similar to previous videos of Shekau.
