Nigerian Military Kills “large Number” Of Boko Haram Terrorists, Recovers Arms. by Romeo386: 10:04am On Dec 21, 2014 |
A large number of terrorists were on Friday killed by troops of the Nigerian military in Borno State, the defence headquarters has said in a statement. The troops laid ambush for the terrorists between Maiduguri and Damboa during a mop up operation in the area, killing several of them and recovering weapons and other equipment from them. The terrorists were in the process of attacking electricity engineers working to restore power in some parts of Borno, the statement said. The exact number of casualty could however not be ascertained, the defence headquarters said on its website. It said the ongoing mop up operation would determine the number of terrorists felled in the encounter. Items recovered include a repainted Hilux vehicle stolen by the terrorists from the Borno State Ministry of Education (the vehicle was mounted with an ant-aircraft gun), rocket propelled grenades and rifles. The military also destroyed a Hilux truck laden with Improvised Explosive Devices. Two soldiers however died in the operation. In another encounter, military engineers clearing terrorists IEDs and effecting repairs on some destroyed bridges, repelled an attack on Husara, also in Borno state. Many terrorists, the military said, died during the encounter while four General Purpose Machine Guns, three rifles and two Rocket Propelled Grenade Launchers were captured. One soldier died in this incident while three others suffered various kinds of injury . http://www.premiumtimesng.com/news/173593-nigerian-military-kills-large-number-boko-haram-terrorists-recovers-arms.html
