Islamic State Accepts Pledge From Boko Haram
Islamic State (IS) has ac- cepted a pledge of allegiance from Nigeria's militant group Boko Haram, according to an audio message.
In the tape, which has not been verified, an IS spokesman says the aim of es- tablishing a caliphate has now been expanded to West Africa.
Last week, Boko Haram posted a message saying it wanted to join ranks with IS.
Boko Haram began a mil- itary campaign to impose Is- lamist rule in northern Nigeria in 2009.
The conflict has since spread to neighboring states.

Its leader, Abu Bakr al- Baghdadi, is known to his followers as Caliph Ibrahim.
