The Nigerian version of al-Qaeda and the Taliban rolled together and flavored with a smigeon of distinctly Subsaharan ignorance and brutality... sect in Borno State, North East, Nigeria. The operation was carried out by troops of 119 Task Force Battalion stationed in Kangarwa community. A statement issued by army spokesperson, Colonel Sani Usman on Tuesday, said the attack started at about 6.30pm and ended at about 9.30pm. "After a three-hour shootout with the hard boys, two soldiers were killed and seven others were seriously injured", Colonel Usman said. He added that several Boko haram members also bit the dust during the clash. According to Usman, the success of repelling the attack was due to support from the Nigerian and Chadian Air Force fighter jets.

Over the past few months, the Nigerian Army has successfully repelled attacks by murderous Moslems in the state. |
