Boko Haram killed 20 people and wounded scores of others in coordinated attacks overnight on a military camp and villages around the flashpoint northern Nigerian city of Maiduguri, which they also tried to infiltrate across a defensive trench, officials said Monday.
The brazen operation — which unfolded around the very city where Boko Haram was born — turned the spotlight on the authorities' struggle to quell the jihadis' nearly nine-year-old offensive.
