Boko Haram kills 92 Chadian soldiers in seven-hour attack
[PUBLISH.TWITTER]
Al Ahram adds:
Boko Haram
... not to be confused with Procol Harum, Harum Scarum, possibly to be confused with Helter Skelter. The Nigerian version of al-Qaeda and the Taliban rolled together and flavored with a smigeon of distinctly Subsaharan ignorance and brutality...
turbans killed nearly 100 Chadian soldiers and maimed dozens more in what President Idriss Deby described as the deadliest attack ever on the country's military.

The soldiers were ambushed on Monday in the island village of Boma in the swampy Lake Chad zone in the west of the country, where the armies of Chad, Nigeria and Niger have been fighting the Islamist turbans for years.

"I have taken part in many operations ... but never in our history have we lost so many men at one time," Deby said during a visit to the site on Tuesday.

Deby gave an initial corpse count of 92 and 47 maimed. Three military sources told Rooters on Wednesday that the number of dead had risen to 98.
