Around 200 holy warriors of the Boko Haram terrorist group were reported killed on Monday in the operation which saw the Nigerian town of Damask liberated.

A Chadian security source said three Chadian soldiers were killed and 20 others maimed in the offensive which began Sunday as part of a regional effort to purge Nigeria of the Takfiri turbans.

Officials in Niger also confirmed the recapture of the town, which had been under Boko Haram's control over the past four months.

The heavy fighting comes as the Takfiri group, which has been wreaking havoc in Nigeria for the past six years, recently pledged allegiance to the ISIL hard boyz operating in Iraq and Syria.

In an audio message last week, Boko Haram leader, Abubakar Shekau (pictured above), voiced his support for ISIL's cruel massacre of the innocent people in the two Arab countries.
