| '109 Boko Haram Fighters Dead' after First Attack on Niger Friday |
| 2015-02-08 |
| [AnNahar] 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... launched its first major attack in Niger on Friday, triggering a forceful response from regional troops who claimed to have killed more than a hundred of the Islamists. The festivities in Bosso and Diffa, along the border with Nigeria, marked yet another expansion of violence attributed to Boko Haram, but it seemed to have come at a heavy cost. |

| #1 Funny how much a semi-competent military can do agasint Boko Haram, eh Nigeria? Nigerian army is inept, much of its equipment unmaintained, its units with no command or discipline, weapons missing (sold to locals), and a corrupt officer corps who are only in it for the boodle. |
