More than 100 suspected Nigerian Islamic sect Boko Haram
militants were killed and over 200 arrested during an
operation conducted by Cameroonian army on Friday night
in Far-North Region of Cameroon, an army source told
Xinhua over phone Saturday.
The operation took place in Doble, a place in Far-North
Region bordering Nigeria, and was conducted by Cameroon
Air Force and Rapid Intervention Battalion, an elite army unit
stationing in the north.
During the operation, three Cameroonian air force pilots
were seriously injured, the source said.
In the same night, 23 Cameroonian civilians were killed and
a village was burned by suspected Boko Haram militants in
Mozogo, a place in Far-North Region.
The suspected Boko Haram militants are active in the north
of Cameroon, they often attack the villages in the area,
pillaging properties of the villagers and sometimes taking
foreign and local people as hostages.
The Cameroonian government has strengthened the military
might this year by sending more troops in the north to fight
against the militants. CLICK HERE TO READ FULL AND TOUCHING NIGERIAN CELEBRITIES BIOGRAPHY AND SCANDALS
