(ANSA) - Rome, September 8 - Nigerian Islamist group Boko
Haram made another key advance Monday in its bid to establish an
Islamic state in the African country by holding on to territory
rather than, as in the past, launching hit-and-run attacks.
The militants captured the key northeastern town of
Michika.
The Nigerian army killed 50 militants during a raid on
their hideout in the small north-eastern town of Kawuri at the
weekend.
