Cameroon Military Says It Pushed Boko Haram Fighters into Nigeria

YAOUNDE, CAMEROON - Cameroon's military said Wednesday its troops pushed back about 80 terrorists from Fotokol, a town on the border with Nigeria.  

The statement said the Boko Haram fighters were from the Nigerian town of Wulgo in Borno State.  Cameroon's military said it killed several fighters in clashes this week, but Boko Haram escaped with all but two of the bodies. The military said it destroyed six war jeeps and seized a large arsenal, including machine guns and assault rifles.  The military said Monday's operation was led by troops of the Multinational Joint Task Force of the Lake Chad Basin Commission.
