Dozens killed by Islamist gunmen in Boko Haram attack in Nigeria	Permalink

An Islamist attack force of "hundreds" of gunmen launched one of its most daring assaults yet in northern Nigeria with coordinated strikes against the country's air force and army that left dozens dead.Fighters from the al-Qaeda-allied Boko Haram streamed towards Maiduguri city in the early hours of Monday in pick-up trucks and on motorcycles, before opening fire with rockets and small arms on a military base.After a five-hour battle, two helicopters, three under-repair fighter jets, vehicles, officers' housing, workshops and regimental buildings had been destroyed. http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/worldnews/africaandindianocean/nigeria/10492759/Dozens-killed-by-Islamist-gunmen-in-Boko-Haram-attack-in-Nigeria.html __________________
