Suicide bomb attacks kill 26 in Cameroon market
At least 26 people were killed Monday in three suicide attacks in the far north of Cameroon, a region often targeted by Nigeria’s Boko Haram Islamist group, according to a police toll.
The attacks targeted the local market in Bodo, near the frontier with Nigeria in one of the deadliest incidents to hit the region.
“An initial toll shows 29 dead and around 30 injured, “a police source, speaking on condition of anonymity, told AFP, saying the toll included the three suicide bombers.
Since 2013, nearly 1,200 people have died in Boko Haram attacks in Cameroon’s far north, according to a toll given this month by Communications Minister Issa Chiroma Bakary.
