Thirty-three women married to so-called Islamic State fighters have been slaughtered by a rival terror group in a sickening revenge attack.
Boko Haram, an Islamist militant group, killed the partners of ISIS fighters earlier this week as fighting escalated between the rival terrorist organisations, the Mirror reports. Ali Ngulde, leader of the African group, sent troops to a camp belonging to the Islamic State – West Africa Province, a Boko Haram off-shoot that split from the original group in 2016 and now aligns with displaced Islamic State jihadis in the Middle East.
The row was sparked after BH commander Malam Aboubakar and more than 12 others were killed by ISWAP fighters following a collapse in peace talks, according to security analyst Zagazola Makama. The jihadist insurgency in Africa was launched by Boko Haram in 2009, centred in Nigeria.
