At least 100 Nigerian Islamic Boko Haram guerillas crossed the frontier with Mali and took control of the town of Gao, in the north of the Country, according to Abu Sidibe, local deputy-governor. The news was confirmed also by the Bamako security forces. Seven people were killed today, including a girl of seven, in a new wave of attacks launched by the Nigerian Boko Haram Islamic group. In the north-eastern town of Dikwa, the terrorists killed a policeman, a civilian and a local politician during the night, as made known by the Nigerian army. The command attacked a police station, a bank, a hotel but was forced back by the soldiers, as lieutenant-colonel Sagir Musa, the Joint Task Force of the Borno State spokesperson announced. Three of the guerillas were killed, the others, though injured, managed to run away. . .
