Four suicide bombers linked to Boko Haram kill dozens in Cameroon

 

Suicide bombers have killed about 25 people in Cameroon in one of the deadliest recent attacks by Islamist militant groups connected to Boko Haram.

Four suicide bombers struck the town of Bodo in the north of the country, with two hitting the town's central market and the others attacking its main entrance and exit points, according to a local official.

More people were also wounded at the scene, he said.

"There was a quadruple suicide bombing in the village of Bodo this morning. There are around 25 deaths and several wounded," he told Reuters.

An 8,700-strong regional force of Cameroonian troops has been created to defeat Boko Haram, which has waged a six-year campaign to carve out a separate state in northeastern Nigeria
