Nemesis: ISWAP’s IED Kills Four Terrorists
By: Zagazola Makama
At Least four Islamic State of the West African Province(ISWAP) terrorists were killed by their own Improvised Explosive Device(IED) along San San village in the North East of Mobbor in Borno State.
In a clear case that can be best described as a tactical boomerang, the terrorists’ bomb turned on them while they were planting it near the route of the troops of the 5 Brigade on Wednesday, shattering their bodies into pieces.
Meanwhile, At about 290630A Nov 23, troops of MNJTF Sector 4 deployed at Chetima Wongonu discovered an IED around Chetimari Village.
“Prior to the incident, suspected ISWAP terrorists opened fire in Chetimari at night, hoping to lure the troops into the IED.
However, troops resisted and later discovered the IED at about 0630 hrs and was subsequently detonated.
Zagazola understood that despite severe battlefield defeats and loss of territory, supplies and manpower, the insurgents had intensified the use of IEDs.
The terrorists deployed PBIEDs (person borne IEDs), VBIEDs (vehicle borne IEDs), remote control and timed devices, in defensive positions or for ambushes.
The tactical use of IEDs to defend enemy positions as well as ambush friendly and allied forces lines of communication is likely to continue and in some sectors become the only form of combat as Boko Haram becomes increasingly incapable of mounting major combat operations.
