Boko Haram rejected claims from Nigeria's military that it has been routed by a four-nation offensive in a video released online, which does not show the group's leader, Abubakar Shekau. The unidentified speaker, his face obscured by a headscarf, instead called Nigeria, Cameroon, Chad and Niger, which have been battling the Islamists, "the lying coalition partners." The rebels were believed behind a market bombing in Maiduguri, Nigeria, that reportedly killed more than 50 people.]]></image:caption>
