12 killed by Boko Haram in Dia village in Cameroon
[Iran Press TV] Twelve civilians have been killed in an attack carried out by 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... Takfiri ...an adherent of takfir wal hijra, an offshoot of Salafism that regards everybody who doesn't agree with them as apostates who must be killed... Death Eaters in northern 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... , military officials say. According to Major Nlate Eballe, operations officer of Cameroon's Operation Alpha special military unit, the Takfiri Death Eaters launched their cross-border attack on Dia, a village located in the country's far north region, early on Friday. "They came in hundreds. They torched Dia village and killed 12 people" He further added. "A large number of livestock" has also been "stolen" by the group, a source said, speaking on condition of anonymity ... for fear of being murdered... Security forces have previously identified Dia as a recruiting ground for the Takfiri terrorists. Cameroon declared war on Boko Haram last May after the group started to frequently infiltrate into the country from neighboring Nigeria.
The Nigerian-based Islamists also attacked a Cameroon army position in Amchide, on the border with Nigeria. "They burned houses in Amchide, but without losses on our side. The attack was repulsed. We don't know yet about casualties on the enemy side," the security source said. Posted by: Fred 2015-04-18 |
