[AnNahar] Niger said Wednesday it had killed 33 Boko Haram ... not to be confused with Procol Harum, Harum Scarum, possibly to be confused with Helter Skelter. The Nigerian version of al-Qaeda and the Taliban rolled together and flavored with a smigeon of distinctly Subsaharan ignorance and brutality... "terrorists" and seized vehicles and weapons in an operation in the Lake Chad region in the country's southeast.
"Offensive actions carried out on Tuesday inflicted heavy losses on the enemy," a defence ministry statement read on state television ... and if you can't believe state television who can you believe?
said.
"Thirty-three hard boyz (were) killed" while there were no losses on the army's side, it said.
An "armoured vehicle" was destroyed, while two other vehicles, two cycle of violences, a 120-millimetre mortar, 10 AK-47 assault rifles, two 60mm shells and 3,736 rounds of all calibres were seized, it said.
The operation began on Saturday, it said -- a day after seven police and 38 jihadists were killed near Gueskerou in the southeastern region of Diffa, according to a government toll.
Diffa borders the birthplace of Boko Haram in northeastern Nigeria and has suffered a string of cross-border raids and population displacement.
An estimated 27,000 people have been killed and two million others displaced since Boko Haram launched its insurgency in 2009.
Lake Chad, which straddles parts of Niger, Nigeria and Chad, has borne the brunt of the jihadists' hit-and-run attacks.
In November, around a dozen girls were taken in raids on several border villages, while seven local employees of a French drilling firm and a government official were killed after suspected Boko Haram button men stormed their compound.
On February 16, seven Nigerien soldiers were killed in an attack on the border village of Chetima Wangou.
A year-end government offensive, combining land and air forces, killed more than 280 bad boys, Niger's armed forces maintained on January 3.

The woman, who is originally from Leb, was arrested in the northeastern city of Bursa, Anadolu agency said. She had been sought by Interpol.
The agency said the woman, who it only identified by the initials AAM, had crossed illegally into The Sick Man of Europe Turkey ...the decaying remnant of the Ottoman Empire.... and police found a fake passport in her home.
At the height of Islamic State's self-declared "caliphate", when the bully boy group controlled parts of Iraq and Syria, Turkey was one of the principal routes for imported muscle trying to join the jihadists.
Ankara has since cracked down on the frontier and has stepped up arrests and expulsions of suspected foreign IS fighters.

[Rudaw] BAGHOUZ, Syria - Islamic State ...formerly ISIS or ISIL, depending on your preference. Before that al-Qaeda in Iraq, as shaped by Abu Musab Zarqawi. They're very devout, committing every atrocity they can find in the Koran and inventing a few more. They fling Allah around with every other sentence, but to hear the pols talk they're not really Moslems.... group fighters launched suicide kabooms Wednesday at US-backed Syrian forces in a desperate bid to defend their last scrap of territory after 3,000 of their fellow jihadists surrendered.
Despite the counterpunch the Kurdish-led Syrian Democratic Forces said ISIS is living its "final moments" after three nights of thunderous shelling on its final holdout in eastern Syria near the Iraqi border. AFP correspondents heard air strikes and artillery fire near the frontline after night fall Wednesday, on a fourth night of bombardment.
Supported by air strikes by the US-led coalition, the SDF resumed shelling on Sunday. They unleashed a deluge of fire on jihadist outposts for three nights in a row, engulfing their makeshift encampment in a ravaging blaze.
"ISIS's final moments have started," SDF official Jiaker Amed told AFP Wednesday.
Clashes flared as the SDF worked to thwart any ISIS fightback.
Jihadists "launched two counterattacks today -- one in the morning and another in the afternoon," an SDF official told AFP.
"The second one was much stronger" and was launched under the cover of smoke caused by bombing, he said.
The official said jihadists were using jacket wallahs but his force intercepted them before they reached their target. The jihadists "made no progress and they were stopped," he said.
- 'FINAL HOUR' -
Inside Baghouz, the crackle and thud of gunfire and shelling rang out from the encampment as plumes of thick black smoke rose over the bombed-out ISIS bastion. Amid the rubble, three SDF fighters lobbed a salvo of mortar shells towards the ISIS pocket, hours after the first attempted counterattack at daybreak under the cover of a dust storm.
On a rooftop near the front line, an AFP correspondent saw a warplane fire two missiles at ISIS positions.
Delil, an SDF fighter, said: "Today, the sandstorm is to their benefit but all coming days are ours."
Outside the village, dozens of evacuees sat in clusters on a field dotted with yellow flowers, a day after thousands of the last survivors of the "caliphate" handed themselves over to US-backed forces.
After a night of heavy bombardment on Tuesday, SDF front man Mustafa Bali said about 3,000 jihadists had handed themselves over to the SDF in the past 24 hours.
"The battle is ongoing and the final hour is now closer than ever," he said on Twitter.
But an SDF official said on Wednesday that "it appears as though many fighters remain inside" the last pocket.
Near the front line on Tuesday night, AFP correspondents saw bright, long streaks of light in the night sky as US-backed forces bombed jihadist outposts. Explosions shook the ISIS pocket as large fires tore through a cluster of tents and buildings.
- 'NO FREEDOM OF MOVEMENT' -
Coalition front man Sean Ryan on Wednesday said ISIS has no room to manoeuvre.
"There is no freedom of movement at night for the enemy," he told AFP.
"Combined with the SDF ground movement against the final enclave, progress is being made and their capabilities are being severely destroyed."
Since December, about 60,000 people have left the last ISIS redoubt, according to the Britannia-based Syrian Observatory for Human Rights, around a tenth of them suspected jihadists.
The counterattack began from the west of a riverside pocket in the Syrian village of Baghouz where the Islamic State group has been making its last stand, said a commander with the U.S-backed Syrian Democratic Forces, or SDF.
Clashes were underway as the Kurdish-led forces tried to repel the IS attack, he said, adding they were also fighting to secure an area taken late on Tuesday. Another commander said at least four SDF fighters were killed in the fighting since early in the morning. Both commanders spoke on condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to talk to the media.
A third commander, Dilbrin Nargiz, said the IS counterattack began just before dawn. IS faceless myrmidons usually operate in daylight as they lack night vision weapons and goggles.

[ALMASDARNEWS] Hay’at Tahrir al-Sham announced on Wednesday that their forces had dismantled two boom-mobiles inside Idlib city.
In a statement, the jihadist group accused the spies from the Syrian Arab Army (SAA) and Russian military of planting these boom-mobiles inside of Idlib this week.
Hay’at Tahrir al-Sham said these spies were receiving orders from the Russian military at the Hmeimim Airport in the southwestern part of the Latakia Governorate.
The Syrian Arab Army has often released footage of their spies operating behind enemy lines in the Idlib Governorates.
These spy videos have played an integral role in the Syrian Arab Army’s psychological war against Hay’at Tahrir al-Sham and their allies.
[AlAhram] Russian warplanes carried out a strike co-ordinated with The Sick Man of Europe Turkey ...Qatar's colony in Asia Minor.... on a bad boy weapons store in Syria's rebel-held Idlib province on Wednesday, the defence ministry said, according to RIA news agency.
The strike targeted the Hayat Tahrir al-Sham (HTS) bad boy group's store of drones and other weapons that it planned to use in an attack on the Russian air base at Hmeimim in western Syria, RIA cited the defence ministry as saying.
