LAGOS, Nigeria  — Nigeria’s Boko Haram Islamic extremists have a new leader who is threatening to bomb churches and kill Christians while ending attacks on mosques and markets used by ordinary Muslims, according to an interview published Wednesday by the Islamic State group.

He also says there is a Western plot to Christianize the region and has accused charities of using their aid for that purpose, according to a SITE Intelligence Group translation of an interview published Wednesday in the Islamic State newspaper al-Nabaa.(nypost.com)…[+]

A wealthy Greenwich Village TV producer played an unexpected game of who-wore-it-better with the housekeeper she fired — when she discovered the woman had stolen her clothes and then posed in them for photos on Facebook.

Amy Pack, 35, had already fired Jasmin Figueroa, 34, from her home at 1 Fifth Ave. for ruining a load of laundry by mixing whites and colors and then lying about it, she told jurors at the worker’s theft trial that concluded Wednesday.

But the real shock for Pack came a few weeks later when she found $1,000 worth of her designer clothes missing. She did some online sleuthing and found snaps of Figueroa on Facebook wearing her navy silk J.Crew dress, her Tory Burch sweater, her lace romper and a tan belt.

The maid topped off the ensemble with a foam Statue of Liberty hat, almost as if it were a taunt.With the photo evidence, Figueroa was found guilty Wednesday of petit larceny in Manhattan Criminal Court, and Judge Ann Scherzer sentenced the sobbing housekeeper to 60 days in jail.(nypost.com)…[+]
