Nigeria Raids Islamists – Kill 17

Revelation 6:3-4 NCV When the Lamb opened the second seal, I heard the second living creature say, "Come!" Then another horse came out, a red one. Its rider was given power to take away peace (prosperity, rest) from the earth and to make people kill each other (butcher, slaughter, to maim violently, in streets), and he was given a big sword (assassins sword, terrorist, loud, mighty, sore afraid).

Nigerian troops killed 17 terrorists and wounded dozens of others in twin raids on Boko Haram training camps.

The raids in northern Nigeria happened Sunday. One Nigerian soldier died in the assaults.

Lt. Col. Sagir Musa said the camps were “fortified” and were well stocked for an extended siege. The camps contained armories, a drug store, kitchens, water sources and dormitories for the troops.

The camps were found in the Ruwa forest and in the Sambisa Game Reserve.

Boko Haram has not commented on the assault by the military. The group has been attempting to overthrow the government so they can install a strict version of Sharia law. They are responsible for the deaths of more than 1,400 since 2010.
