| Boko Haram Raid in Nigeria 'Killed over 150' |
| 2014-12-04 |
| [AnNahar] More than 150 people, including 38 police, were killed in a dawn raid 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... on the northeast Nigeria ... a particularly crimson stretch of Islam's bloody border... n city of Damaturu this week, emergency services said on Wednesday. |

| #3 TW, decrease in BH fighters is not entirely good news -- some of the dead will be cannon fodder who were just weighing down the more skillful killers |

| #2 one of the shifts in the Boko Haram uprising is that non govt militia are doing most of the actual fighting against Boko Haram among the results of this shift is that Boko Haram is probably losing fighters faster than new ones can be recruited I was not aware of that, lord garth. And I feel much better now that I am. Thank you. |

| #1 one of the shifts in the Boko Haram uprising is that non govt militia are doing most of the actual fighting against Boko Haram among the results of this shift is that Boko Haram is probably losing fighters faster than new ones can be recruited another result is that somewhat fewer of the casualties are non combatants (although it is still at least 25% or more) |
