| [Iran Press TV] Nigerian soldiers have rescued more than 240 women and kiddies in a series of security operations against the Takfiri ...an adherent of takfir wal hijra, an offshoot of Salafism that regards everybody who doesn't agree with them as apostates who must be killed... 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... terrorist group in the country's troubled northeast. Nigerian military sources said on Wednesday that the hostages were released and rescued on Tuesday as the soldiers cleared "terrorist camps" near Banki in Borno State. The region is located close to the border with 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... and is considered as a stronghold of the terrorist group, which has used Banki to launch cross-border attacks in and around Cameroon's town of Amchide in recent months. Meanwhile, ...back at the fist fight, Jake ducked another roundhouse, then parried with his left, then with his right, finally with his chin... Nigerian army front man Sani Usman said it was not immediately clear whether all of those rescued had been kidnapped by Boko Haram, adding, "Screening is ongoing to know their exact status. Some were being held, some belonged to their (the bully boys') families." Last month, nearly 180 people, mostly women, were freed south of Maiduguri, the capital and the largest city of Borno state. Also in May, hundreds of women and kiddies kidnapped by the forces of Evil were rescued during a military operation against the group's Sambisa Forest stronghold. |
