Revelation 6:3-4 NCV When the Lamb opened the second seal, I heard the second living creature say, "Come!" Then another horse came out, a red one. Its rider was given power to take away peace (prosperity, rest) from the earth and to make people kill each other (butcher, slaughter, to maim violently, in streets), and he was given a big sword (assassins sword, terrorist, loud, mighty, sore afraid).
Nigerian troops have killed 20 members of the Islamic terror group, Boko Haram, according to an army spokesman.
The terrorists had attempted to take over a military barracks in Monguno, in the extreme northern part of the country. In addition to killing 20 of the terrorists, the troops were able to capture weapons and ammunition from the assault force. No military members were apparently wounded in the assault.
Boko Haram has not commented on the failed attack.
The group, dedicated to creating an Islamic state in the northern part of the country, has been responsible for 1,400 deaths since 2010. Recently, the group made its first terror attack outside the country kidnapping seven French citizens including four children in neighboring Cameroon.
The group is denying reports that one of their senior leaders was participating in peace talks. However, the same leaders claimed a cease-fire earlier this year which apparently was either fake or went unheeded by the members of the terrorist group.
