Boko Haram attacks in a military counter-attack on their Member
« on: November 22, 2014, 12:03:25 PM »
At least 45 people were killed in a Boko Haram reprisal attack on a village in northeastern Nigeria, the epicentre of the Islamists´ five-year insurgency, the head of the local government and a military source said on Friday.

The military source said the militants stormed the village in Wednesday´s attack to avenge four of their members who had wandered into the market but were identified and killed by soldiers in a gun fight.

"The Boko Haram militants mobilised and came on a reprisal," the source told Reuters in the Borno state capital Maiduguri.

The attack on Azaya Kura village occurred on a busy market day, Shettima Lawan, chairman of Mafa district council said by telephone. "They slaughtered 45 people. They´ve been buried," Lawan said.
