The factory, which was
located in a fertilizer company, has also converted some of the materials
therein for production of all types of IEDs. Troops are still evacuating the
materials which include a large quantity of suicide bomber vests from the
facility to their base. It is believed
that the heavy calibre bomb used in blowing up the bridge between Damaturu and
Buni Yadi was produced in the factory.
The terrorists were sacked
from Buni Yadi after a military assault that was conducted last Saturday. The troops advance was delayed by the series
of IEDs planted on the highway leading to Buni Yadi. Four soldiers died from such IEDs in the course
of the operation to clear terrorists from the town.
This discovery is expected
to degrade the capability of terrorists in the production of explosives, which
they have been using lavishly in the area until they were dislodged from their
stronghold. (DHQ)
