Nigeria Troops Sentenced To Death For Cowardice

Fifty-four members of Nigeria's special forces have been sentenced to death for mutiny and cowardice after refusing to take part in a raid against Islamist group Boko Haram.
Nigerian troops have long complained they lack the firepower to fight Boko Haram and say they are often abandoned with little food and ammunition.
In recent weeks special forces have recaptured at least four towns with help from air raids and vigilantes.
