The Commander
of a multinational force fighting the Islamist insurgents, Maj.-Gen. Lamidi
Adeosun, has said that Boko Haram is strapping bombs to birds as it continues
to develop more deadly weapons for its bloody attacks.
Adeosun, according to The Independent, a United Kingdom newspaper,
revealed the discovery at a meeting with American diplomats and security
officials.
The report added that Adeosun showed gruesome photos of the victims of Boko
Haram’s attacks and their latest weapons during the briefing at the
Multinational Joint Task Force’s headquarters in Chad on Wednesday.
One picture showed a bird with an explosive strapped on its back,
demonstrating “a lot of ingenuity,” he said.
Adeosun said his force had received intelligence that Isis members were
being imbedded with Boko Haram but that the Nigerian terrorist group had not
satisfied requirements for greater operational coordination.
