Borno and other parts of the North have reduced drastically.



According to Buratai, the military has identified a major location of

the suicide bombers and destroyed it. The Army chief said this in an

interview over the weekend.



"By and large, I tell you suicide bombing has been reduced

drastically. In the last three days, there has been no Improvised

Explosive Devices (IEDs) attack or suicide attacks and this, we hope

it will continue.



They may decide to come but we are able to take out one key area that

we are even suspecting, our troops were able to clear them in

conjunction with other security agencies.



I won't say at this stage that we have been able to make breakthroughs

in respect of suicide bombing, but we have made substantial progress

and we hope it will be sustained"he said
