83 SOLDIERS MISSING AFTER BOKO HARAM ATTACK

-

Senior military officers say 83 soldiers are missing after Boko Haram Islamic extremists attacked a remote base in northeaste­rn Nigeria.

Officers said the soldiers were unable to fight back because they were poorly equipped. Army spokesman Col. Sani Kukasheka Usman, pictured, said last week that some soldiers were missing and 13 wounded when the insurgents on Oct. 17 attacked their base on the border with Niger.
