Boko Haram kills Rev. Andimi, abducted Adamawa CAN chairman
The United States has revealed that a recent counterterrorism operation in Nigeria killed 199 jihadists and led to the seizure of the largest cache of Islamic State of Iraq and Syria (ISIS) electronic intelligence since the September 11, 2001 terrorist attacks.
This, marked what Washington described as one of its most significant victories against the extremist group in decades.
US officials said the volume of electronic devices and intelligence materials recovered during the raid was so substantial that an additional aircraft was deployed to transport the haul, which is now being analysed to uncover ISIS communications, networks and operational plans.
US officials said intelligence experts are now analysing the devices to uncover how ISIS communicates, recruits, finances its operations and coordinates attacks across different regions, particularly in Africa.
