Security sources said that two suicide attackers supposed to be Boko Haram insurgents killed at least five people in northern Cameroon on Saturday, November 28.
The onslaughts in the village of Dabanga are believed to be the latest in a series of cross-border raids into Cameroon’s Far North Region by members of the Nigeria-based terror sect.
A senior government source, who asked not to be named, said: “ The provisional toll is seven dead, including the two suicide bombers, as well as two soldiers injured.”
According to one of the security sources a woman and her children were among the killed. Two other security sources said a gendarme had died in attack.
Cameroon is a part of an 8,700-strong regional task-force established to overcome the Boko Haram which has killed thousands and displaced millions of people in its aim to create a caliphate in northern Nigeria.
However, while the government insists that the force has been operating since August, there has been no sign of associated operations at a time when the Boko Haram terrorism seems to be intensifying.
