Nigeria forces, Boko Haram exchange gunfire in capital
[Al Ahram] 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... Islamists opened fire Friday on security operatives conducting an operation near a legislative building in Nigeria's capital Abuja, sparking a shootout that injured several people, the intelligence branch said. "In the early hours of (Friday)... a security team went for an operation behind the Apo legislative quarters... they came under heavy gunfire attack by ... Boko Haram elements," leading to a shootout which injured "some people", Marilyn Ogar, spokeswoman for the Department of State Services, said in a statement. Posted by: Fred 2013-09-21 |
