| 2014-12-29 |
| [Ynet] Some 1,000 suspected 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... fighters from Nigeria attacked five towns 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... over the weekend and briefly occupied a military camp on Sunday before being removed by the air force, an army front man said. The heavily gang attacked the military camp in Achigachia near the Nigerian border at around 4 AM. Following an intense battle, the army abandoned the camp, Lieutenant Colonel Didier Badjeck told Rooters by phone. "After that, the head of state ordered the air force to carry out strikes. With the bombardment, the fighters were forced to decamp from Achigachia," Badjeck said. He could not immediately give the number of casualties from both sides. It is the first time Cameroon has used the air force against Boko Haram. |
