Boko Haram kills 18, abducts 10 in Chad
[Al Jazeera] At least 3,000 villagers have been forced to leave their homes in the Lake Chad region after a 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...attack on a village near Chad's border with Niger left at least 18 people dead. Lake Chad governor, Mohammed Aba Salah, told Al Jazeera on Sunday that the fighters also kidnapped 10 women. "Boko Haram fighters slit the throats of two [people] and shot the other 16," he said. "One of the 10 women kidnapped by Boko Haram managed to escape and return home." Aba Salah also said that the evacuation following the attack was "a precautionary measure". Boko Haram is in control of the area across Lake Chad's borders with both Niger and Nigeria, he said. Posted by: Fred 2018-07-23 |
