Nigerien armed forces during the weekend killed no fewer than 12 of the Boko Haram terrorists who attacked the country's southern region of Bosso near the border with Nigeria.
Reuters reports Army Spokesman , Col. Moustapha Ledru, as saying on national radio that ;
“Three members of the security forces were lightly wounded during Friday’s battle and government forces captured machine guns, rocket propelled grenade launchers and mobile telephones from the enemy.
“The vigorous reaction of the Defence and Security Forces of Niger put the enemy to flight. Around a dozen terrorists were killed and several dozen others were wounded and carried away by the fleeing attackers.”
The casualty figures could however not be verified independently.
