Cameroon Army kills 116 Boko Haram fighters
on december 18, 2014 at 4:35 pm in news
Cameroon’s army said Thursday its troops had killed 116
Nigerian fighters from the Islamist Boko Haram group in
the far north.
Insurgents attacked an army base in Amchide on the
border with Nigeria on Wednesday, but soldiers repelled
them, inflicting heavy losses, the defence ministry said.
“A column made up of a military truck and four pick-ups
from the BIR (elite Rapid Intervention Battalion) were
caught in an ambush that began with an explosion of a
roadside bomb,” the army said.
“At the same time…, the Amchide military base was attacked
by hundreds of fighters from the sect, but the response
from our defence forces was instant and appropriate,” the
statement said.
“There are 116 of the assailants dead on Cameroonian
territory and undetermined casualties on the Nigerian
territory from our artillery fire,” the statement said. “There
is one dead on the Cameroonian side and one officer
missing.”
According to the army, the Boko Haram fighters destroyed
a pick-up and a troop truck, as well as managing to capture
another military truck.
Boko Haram has grown in power in the area, where
Cameroon and Nigeria are linked by a bridge. Militants
have carried out repeated massacres of civilians and attacks
on villages there, but are now increasingly active against
military targets.

EU court says Hamas should be removed from
terror list
on december 18, 2014 at 2:34 pm in news
The Palestinian Islamist group, Hamas, should
be removed from the European Union’s terrorist
list, an EU court ruled on Thursday.
The court added that the decision was to include it was
based on media reports, not considered analysis.
In its ruling, however, the bloc’s second highest tribunal said
member states could keep Hamas’s assets frozen for three
months to give time for further review or for an appeal.
The EU’s foreign policy arm said the bloc continued to view
Hamas as a terrorist group.
“This was a legal ruling of the court based on procedural
grounds.
“ We will look into this and decide on appropriate remedial
action,’’ the spokeswoman, Maja Kocijanic said.
The U.S. has urged the European Union not to change its
stance.
“We believe that the EU should maintain its terrorism
sanctions on Hamas,’’ U.S. State Department spokeswoman,
Jen Psaki, told a regular news briefing.
Israel, which has clashed repeatedly with Europe in recent
years over Palestinian statehood ambitions, demanded Hamas
remain blacklisted and said the ruling showed “staggering
hypocrisy’’ toward a Jewish state founded after the
Holocaust.
“It seems that too many in Europe, on whose soil six million
Jews were slaughtered, have learned nothing.
“But we in Israel, we have learned,’’ Prime Minister
Benjamin Netanyahu said.
He branded Hamas “a murderous terrorist organisation’.’
According to a report, Hamas holds sway in the Gaza
Strip and its founding charter calls for the destruction of
Israel; it has regularly battled Israel, most recently in a
50-day war this summer.
Most Western countries say it is a terrorist organisation,
pointing to years of indiscriminate rocket strikes out of
Gaza and waves of suicide attacks, primarily between 1993
and 2005.
