Saudi Press Agency Published in Saudi Press Agency on 24 - 06 - 2014


More than 70 suspected militants of the radical
group Boko Haram have been killed in a Nigerian air raid,
dpa cited the daily Vanguard as reporting Tuesday.
The raid followed a Boko Haram attack on several villages near
Chibok, the town where the group abducted more than 200 schoolgirls
mid-April.
The army caught up with the attackers as they were fleeing the area
on Sunday, the newspaper quoted "reliable sources" as saying.
Army spokesman Chris Olukolade confirmed the incident.
