A Nigerian Air Force helicopter crashed as fighting raged
against Boko Haram group for control of the strategic town of Baga in
northeastern Nigeria, said ABC news.
Air force spokesman Air Commodore Ibikunle Daramola
said in a statement the helicopter crash occurred Wednesday.
The fighting was at Damasak in Northern Borno state,
he said, without giving details of the fate of the helicopter crew.
The military is fighting to regain control of Baga,
which Boko Haram seized last week.
