The Nigerian military claimed on Thursday that US-designated "global terrorist" Abubakar Adam Kambar was killed in an operation last year, though Washington had not confirmed the death.
.
Lieutenant Colonel Mohammed Suleiman said Kambar, believed to have links to Al-Qaeda's north African branch and Nigerian Islamist extremist group Boko Haram, was killed on March 18, 2012.
.
That would have been before the United States listed him and two other Nigerian Islamists, Boko Haram leader Abubakar Shekau and Khalid al- Barnawi, as "global terrorists" in June of last year.
.
Brigadier General Chris Olukolade, a defence spokesman, said that may have been because information had not been properly passed along, but could not give further details.
JTF killing people that are very bad aint a problem. It had to happen at a point. Kudos to whoever in particular did this.
