US launches deadly strike against Islamic State in Nigeria

President Donald Trump says the U.S. launched a “powerful and deadly" strike against Islamic State forces in Nigeria, after spending weeks accusing the government there of failing to rein in the persecution of Christians in the West African country. Trump posted news of the strike Thursday night on his social media site. He said last month that he'd ordered the Pentagon to begin planning for potential military action in Nigeria following the claims of Christian persecution. The State Department then announced in recent weeks that it would restrict visas for Nigerians and their family members involved in mass killings and violence against Christians. The U.S. recently designated Nigeria a “country of particular concern” under the International Religious Freedom Act.
