| [Iran Press TV] The US military is using spy drones as well as manned aircraft over Nigeria to locate over 200 schoolgirls who were recently kidnapped 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 most be killed... bad boys, according to senior military officials. The United States has deployed high-flying drone, Global Hawk, and the manned MC-12 Liberty aircraft for the mission, a military official said on Wednesday. The official spoke on condition of anonymity because he was not authorized to talk to journalists. On Tuesday, Army Col. Steve Warren, a Pentagon front man, said, "I can confirm that we're using both manned and unmanned aerial ISR (intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance) assets in the search for the kidnapped girls," He added that the military is not sharing intelligence directly with the Nigerian government. "We are not sharing the raw intelligence data," Warren told news hounds. "We are working closely with the Nigerians to establish intelligence-sharing protocols. We're also establishing a baseline. But as of now, we are not directly sharing that information." |
