Dozens killed in Nigeria fighting between army, jihadists
[IsraelTimes] Fierce festivities between a regional force and IS-affiliated fighters in northeast Nigeria... a particularly crimson stretch of Islam's bloody border... have left 25 soldiers and at least 40 jihadists dead, two military sources and a militia leader say. Fighters from the 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 Allaharound with every other sentence, but to hear western pols talk they're not reallyMoslems.... West Africa Province (ISWAP) group launched a dawn attack on Monday against a base near the town of Baga on Lake Chad, setting off fierce shootouts that killed 20 Nigerian and five Chadian troops, the sources say.
