Army kills more than 40 Boko Haram members
|
[IOL.CO.ZA] Nigerian troops have killed more than 40 members of the radical Islamist group 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...
in north-eastern Borno state, according to an army front man quoted in the National Mirror and other media on Saturday.
Major General Chris Olukolade said fighting started as turbans tried to free other Boko Haram members who had been captured by the army on Thursday.
Four government soldiers were killed and nine injured.
The army recovered more than 16 rifles as well as ammunition and bomb-making materials.
| Merely sixteen rifles divided among 40+ gunnies? That equation seems a little off. |
The incident occurred in Bulanbuli, in central Borno state near the Sambisa forest, where Boko Haram has established an enclave and where it is believed to be holding more than 100 schoolgirls it kidnapped earlier this month.
| Replenishing their sales stock, it appears. Apparently the previous supply was married off to the lads or sold abroad for profit…. or both, leaving the cupboard bare. |
Borno is one of three northern states that the government placed under a state of emergency last May to curb attacks by Boko Haram, which wants to establish an Islamist state.
| Clearly an effective, well-thought tactic. Or not, as the case most definitely appears to be. |
The group is responsible for thousands of deaths since it began its insurgency in 2009.
