BREAKING: US launches 'powerful strikes' against Islamic State in Nigeria, says Trump

[Gaugamela]

Seems obvious they chose to do this on Christmas Day to make it look like a crusade.

(This is the full article.)

President Donald Trump has said the US launched a "powerful and deadly strike" against the Islamic State (IS) group in north-western Nigeria.

In a post on Truth Social, the US president described IS as " terrorist scum", accusing them of "targeting and viciously killing, primarily, innocent Christians".

He said the US military "executed numerous perfect strikes", without giving any further details. It is unclear what exactly targets were struck and when.

In November, Trump ordered the US military to prepare for action in Nigeria to tackle Islamist militant groups.
