Boko Haram terrorists have seize Lake Chad island in Niger,
several Nigerien soldiers killed. Boko Haram, hardline Islamists who want to
establish a caliphate in the region, attacked the island of Karamga at dawn on
Saturday, their second attempt to capture it since February, army and
government sources said.
"There were many (Niger soldiers) dead on Saturday,
considerably more than in the first attack," said one of the army sources,
referring to a battle in February in which seven Niger soldiers died.
A second army source said a counter-attack to clear the
island of militants was ongoing.
On Friday suspected Boko Haram militants crossed over from
Cameroon and forced Nigerian troops out of the border town of Marte, one
soldier told Reuters, indicating the group still has a reach beyond Sambisa.
