LAGOS, Nov. 1 (Xinhua) -- At least 42 Boko Haram insurgents have been killed in a clash with military forces in a failed attack in northeast Nigeria's Borno State, a security source said on Saturday.

The insurgents on motorcycles and one Hilux vehicle invaded Sabon Gari, near Biu, about 189 kilometers from Maiduguri, on Friday morning but were repelled by miliary troops who have been on ground before the insurgents arrived, the source told Xinhua.

"Our men were mobilized to Sabon-Gari to repel the attack with support from the youth vigilante in the area and we dealt with them well," a military officer in Maiduguri who did not want his name in print said.

Audu Uba, a youth vigilante in Biu also confirmed the incident, adding that the military troops in the area pursue the flee insurgents up to a nearby village where they were intercepted and killed.

Sabon Gari has witnessed two attacks in the past. In mid May, Boko Haram attacked the remote community nearly a month after the first attack, killing at least 12 people. The attack forced over a thousand residents to flee the area.

Kill all followers of Mohammed. Islamists are true Mohammedans. Just study history and you will find out Islam is spread now and always has been spread by the sword.

Kill all followers of Mohammed.

Kill [whoever doesn't embrace my ideology] is the Tyrannical mentality of so many ideological extremists.

Christians shouldn't fall into the trap of murderous, blind hatred.

That exact mentality is what we're trying to put an end to, and becoming that which we hate is no solution.

Rack ‘em and stack ‘em.

They should give everyone in the country a very sharp machete. Instead of 1,000 fleeing, they could counter attack and make mincemeat out of the guys with guns. Sure, the cost is high, but those terrorists can only carry so much ammo and reload only so fast.

No, I am not falling into a murderous ideology. I have studied Mohammad and have concluded we have two choices: we either kill them or they kill us.

Ban the queeran!

It's a 1400 yr old declaration of WAR against mankind! Why would any civilized nation allow it to establish? The end results have been proven over and over, over the last millennium and a half!

Criminalize it!
