The Nigerian Military High Command says its troops have killed a prominent 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....
of West Africa Province (ISWAP) Commander, Abubakar Dan-Buduma.

According to the military, over 85 bad boyz were potted alongside the ISWAP commander.

It also said the troops rescued 848 civilians and arrested 119 gunnies in Northwestern Nigeria in separate operations.
