4 Dead in Suicide Attack at Cameroon Mosque
[AnNahar] Four worshipers were killed in a suicide kaboom at a mosque in northern Cameroon...a long, narrow country that fills the space between Nigeria and Chad on the northeast, CAR to the southeast. Prior to incursions by Boko Haram nothing ever happened there... on Monday, a security source said, five days after a similar attack left 12 people dead. Monday's blast hit the village of Nguetchewe in Cameroon's Far North region, in an area near the border with Nigeria regularly targeted by Boko Haram ... not to be confused with Procol Harum, Harum Scarum, possibly to be confused with Helter Skelter. The Nigerian version of al-Qaeda and the Taliban rolled together and flavored with a smigeon of distinctly Subsaharan ignorance and brutality... jihadists. "The toll of this attack is four dead and two injured," the source, who was at the scene of the attack, told AFP. A source close to regional authorities confirmed that a deadly attack had taken place in Nguetchewe, but was unable to provide details. The security source said the attack took place around 6:00 am (0500 GMT) just as morning prayers were ending. "The jacket wallah, a young boy, arrived in the village by foot," the source said, adding that a witness had noticed his behavior seemed suspicious and had tried to intercept him. "The bomber ran towards the mosque, where he set off the explosives he was carrying with him." Cameroonian troops are at the scene of the attack, the source said. It is the second deadly blast to hit the Far North in less than a week, following a bombing at a mosque in Kolofata district during morning prayers last Wednesday.
