Boko Haram attacks Cameroun borders, kidnaps people to Nigeria
« on: February 09, 2015, 05:57:37 PM »
 Nigeria's Islamic extremists Boko Haram pushed their conflict further into neighboring countries with attacks on Cameroon and Niger, abducting more than 30 people including those aboard a packed bus, said residents Monday.

Three Cameroonian towns were attacked and in Niger, the town of Diffa was attacked for the third time in recent days.

To battle Boko Haram, nearby countries have pledged to send troops to help Nigeria squash the militant group that killed more than 10,000 people last year. Nearly a year ago Boko Haram abducted more than 200 Nigerian schoolgirls who remain missing.

In northern Cameroon, the fighters seized a bus with 20 people aboard in Koza late Sunday and then drove it back toward the Nigerian border, some 11 miles (18 kilometers) away, resident Bouba Kaina told The Associated Press by telephone.
