Washington (AFP) - Two tour buses carrying rap star Lil Wayne and his entourage came under fire early Sunday in Georgia, according to US media, which said no one was injured in the shooting.

The Atlanta Journal-Constitution newspaper reported that the shooting by unknown assailants occurred in Cobb County, near Atlanta, around 3:30 am (0730 GMT), after the music star completed a performance at an area night club.
Police determined that two tour buses used by Lil Wayne and his crew had been shot multiple times, the daily said.

Officials said the two buses were carrying a total of about a dozen passengers at the time of the shooting.

"Witnesses could only provide a limited description of the suspect vehicles," Cobb County Police spokeswoman Elizabeth Espy told the newspaper.

"They were described as two white vehicles, possibly a Corvette-style vehicle and an SUV."

  FLASHBACK!!!   Quoted from Slaps and hugs A source just revealed to me that he came across a magazine few hours ago called GALAXY EXPRESS with a headline that read: "WHY I KILLED DAGRIN" - confesses old woman ritualist. The magazine had the picture of the old woman who confessed to killing the late rap star, DaGrin sitting on the bare floor. After reading the story, our source explained that the old woman confessed that she killed DaGrin because the young Yorupa rapper had failed to keep his own side of the bargain after making him rich and famous within a short time.

Nigerian troops who fled Boko Haram now have them on the run

  YOLA, Nigeria (AP) — A year ago, a dozen Nigerian troops fighting about 200 Boko Haram militants in the town of Chibok exhausted their ammunition and ran, leaving the road open for the abduction of nearly 300 girls. Today, Nigerian soldiers are rescuing hundreds of kidnapped girls and women from the last forest stronghold of the Islamic insurgents. The reason for the unimaginably swift shift in fortunes? In the last three months, military forces from neighboring Chad, Niger and Cameroon have joined the battle. In addition, Nigerian troops are finally receiving better arms and weapons, as well as hazard pay that they had not received until this year. As a result, Boko Haram's supply lines are being cut off, creating conditions for the security forces to deliver a potential knockout blow to the extremists who have created havoc in northeastern Nigeria for years. Nigeria's military has announced that it has recaptured all major to...
