Trump orders strike on ISIS in Nigeria, wishes 'Merry Christmas to the dead terrorists'

The United States Africa Command (AFRICOM) launched a strike against Islamic State terrorists in Nigeria, US President Donald Trump announced on social media early on Friday.

AFRICOM stated that the strike in Soboto was conducted "at the request of Nigerian authorities" and killed multiple terrorists.

The strike was ordered due to recent Islamic State attacks on Nigerian Christians.

"The Department of War executed numerous perfect strikes, as only the United States is capable of doing," Trump said, adding that he wishes a "MERRY CHRISTMAS to all, including the dead Terrorists, of which there will be many more if their slaughter of Christians continues."

Well that is a wonderfully innovative Christmas greeting, that will go a long way to a Happy New Year for the Christians in Nigeria!

A permanent sign outside a NC Marine Corps Air Station posted “Pardon our noise, it’s the sound of freedom”.

Hopefully, more loud sounds at night will help the Christians feel safer, and soon, free.
