Buba Bello Kare Garke Jangebe, a Moslem man described as a notorious cow thief, had his right hand chopped off from the wrist. The first Nigerian convicted of theft under Islamic sharia law had his hand amputated in front of a cheering crowd in the northern state of Zanfara, the state government said in a statement. "The people were happy that the norms of sharia were being carried out," a senior government official said.
