Boko Haram gunmen burst out of the Sambisa Forest and attacked the town of Gwoza in Borno state yesterday, killing over 100 residents and burning the police station and two churches after taking over the town. Witnesses said that soldiers guarding the town fled in the face of the militants' superior firepower. The militants also blew up a nearby bridge. The capture of Gwoza, one of the largest towns in Borno, follows the terror group's takeover of Damboa in July, when it hoisted its flags over the town.
