Nigerian warplanes bomb terrorist Boko Haram camps kills large number of them



Abuja, Nigeria (IINA) - Nigerian warplanes bombed training camps and equipment belonging to extremist group Boko Haram in the Northeast’s Sambisa forest on Thursday, killing a "large number of terrorists the military says, news agencies reported.

"The air strikes which targeted Sambisa forests and parts of Gwoza have been highly successful," defence spokesman Chris Olukolade said in a statement.

The death of a large number of terrorists has been recorded while many others are also scampering all over the forest," defense spokesman Major-General Chris Olukolade said,

It was not clear if any civilians were killed in the air force bombardment on the town of Gwoza, where Boko Haram first declared the existence of a caliphate inside Nigeria last year.

Niger, Chad and Cameroon are seeking to pin down Boko Haram within Nigeria's borders ahead of a ground-and-air offensive by a regional task-force due to start from the end of next month, a senior Niger military official said.
