Trump targets ISIS in Nigeria

Fear and confusion in Nigerian village hit in US strike, as locals say no history of ISIS in area​


“… the United States launched airstrikes against ISIS in Nigeria, a move that the president said on social media was in retaliation for the militant group’s killing of Christians “at levels not seen for many years, and even centuries!”

Trump told POLITICO that the strike was originally to take place on Wednesday but the president ordered it delayed one day – for symbolic reasons.

They were going to do it earlier,” Trump said. “And I said, ‘nope, let’s give a Christmas present.’ … They didn’t think that was coming, but we hit them hard. Every camp got decimated.”…”
