Newsweek: Cameroon Kills 100 Boko Haram Fighters, Frees 900 Hostages: Defense Minister
Cameroonian soldiers have killed around 100 Boko Haram militants and liberated 900 hostages held by the Nigerian insurgent group, AFP reported.
Defense Minister Joseph Beti Assomo said in a statement broadcast on national radio on Wednesday that a “special clean-up operation” from November 26-28 along the Nigerian border had “neutralized” Boko Haram fighters and released the hostages. Assomo said that the operation had also led to the seizure of a large stockpile of armaments and black and white flags associated with the Islamic State militant group (ISIS). Boko Haram pledged allegiance to ISIS in an audio message released in March.
