Radical Nigerian Muslim group claims attacks

JOS, Nigeria: A radical Muslim sect has claimed responsibility for the Christmas Eve
attacks in Nigeria that left at least 38 people dead.
The Islamic group, formerly known as Boko Haram, said in a press release published on its
website that it was responsible for the multiple bombings in central Jos and two attacks
on churches in Maiduguri.
Boko Haram changed its name after a prison break earlier this year that freed more than 700
inmates. The group's new name translates as: "The organization of followers of the teachings
of Prophet Muhammad and champions of Islam and holy wars."
Nigerian authorities had blamed Boko Haram for the church attacks that killed six but had
not identified suspects in the bombings.

How do they avoid shame for this sort of work?

The usual way to avoid shame is to claim that those who you have killed are evil and deserved to die.
Or you can simply say that it is a war and that all is fair in war.
When the CIA had Diem and Lumumba executed, that was their justification.
