More than 30 Boko Haram insurgents were killed when they ambushed an Army contingent in Kareto, Borno State, the Army said yesterday. The attack by about 100 Boko Haram members on Monday occurred during patrols by the 113 Battalion. The ground operation by the Army and a multinational force, with air cover by the Air Force, is to raid the North on a village-by-village basis, capture Boko Haram terrorists and free the captives.

Cameroonian Gen. Bouba Dobekreo said this month that the ground forces were put in place to eradicate Boko Haram threat in Nigeria. In clashes last Friday, 34 suspected Boko Haram members were killed and 455 captives freed in Borno State.
