Two Killed, 15 Injured in Jihadist Ambush in Nigeria
|
[AnNahar] Jihadists have ambushed a civilian convoy in northeast Nigeria
... a particularly crimson stretch of Islam's bloody border...
's Borno state, killing two people and injuring 15, militia sources said Friday.
The button men opened fire as the convoy, under military escort, was heading to the town of Gamboru near the border with Cameroon
...a long, narrow country that fills the space between Nigeria and Chad on the northeast, CAR to the southeast. Prior to incursions by Boko Haram nothing ever happened there...
late Thursday, they said.
"The forces of Evil killed two civilians and seriously injured 15," militia leader Ibrahim Liman told AFP.
The convoy, comprising mostly traders, was coming from the regional capital Maiduguri, 130 kilometres (80 miles) from the Cameroonian border, when the attack occurred in the village of Mussine.
"The troops returned fire and the attackers retreated, but unfortunately two people were killed among the passengers," said another militia leader, Umar Kachalla.
Travelling on highways in northern Borno has become dangerous as fighters from the so-called Islamic State
 ...formerly ISIS or ISIL, depending on your preference. Before that they were al-Qaeda in Iraq, as shaped by Abu Musab Zarqawi. They're really very devout, committing every atrocity they can find in the Koran and inventing a few more. They fling Allah around with every other sentence, but to hear western pols talk they're not really Moslems....
West Africa Province (ISWAP) and rival 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...
set up bogus checkpoints where they kill or abduct passengers.
The situation has prompted the authorities to organise travellers in convoys under military protection but attacks have persisted.
It was not immediately clear which jihadist faction was behind the latest attack as both Boko Haram and ISWAP operate in the area.
