Scores Of Boko Haram Insurgents Killed By Chadian Soldiers

The Boko Haram sect recorded a huge loss on Friday after loosing at least 19 of their fighters in a combat with Chadian Soldiers. The insurgents attacked a Chadian village on the banks of Lake Chad, killing two soldiers in the process.


"The Islamists fighters attacked early this morning and we returned fire and they were forced to flee back into Nigeria," a source told Reuters by telephone from Komguia, where the fighting took place.

Chadian President Idriss Deby earlier on Friday vowed to crush the insurgents who have killed thousands of people and threat the stability of the region.

"Chad will never bend in the face Boko Haram and I promise you that Boko Haram will disappear," he told a group of Muslim clerics.
