Breaking:boko Haram Releases First Photos After Joining ISIS As Military Retreat by skillsbaba(m): 5:55pm On Apr 23, 2015 |
Militants fighting for Boko Haram in West Africa have released the first images of their terror activities since pledging allegiance to ISIS leader Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi. They now refer to themselves as Wilayat al Sudan al Gharbi, which is commonly translated into English as the 'West African Province' of the Islamic State. Taken somewhere in the forests of north-eastern Nigeria, the images show the jihadis casually posing in front of the terror group's sinister black and white flag while brandishing assault rifles. The release came as Nigerian soldiers backed by warplanes invaded the Islamist's final stronghold in the country, the Sambisa forest, in an effort to finally defeat the six-year-old insurgency. This morning Nigerian soldiers retreated from Boko Haram's last known stronghold in the country amid concerns the militants had booby-trapped the area before fleeing. Three pro-government vigilantes were killed in the area by a landmine this morning. A vigilante and a security source both confirmed the pullback from the Sambisa forest, a day after an offensive aimed at rooting out the insurgents. A spokesman for the military was not immediately available for comment. 'The soldiers have retreated to Bama because of mines. They had been on the road but that made them vulnerable, so they moved to the bush but there are mines planted there (too),' one soldier, who did not want to be named, revealed. The slick photographs carry all the logos and artwork typically seen in official ISIS releases, suggesting the Middle East-based militants have taken full control of Boko Haram propaganda. Earlier this year the group's leader, Abubakar Shekau, released a video saying the group had pledged allegiance to ISIS and would be dropping the name Boko Haram.
