Suicide Bomber Kills 4 in Northern Cameroon
[AlManar] A child bomber killed four members of a local self-defense group late Tuesday 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... , an area often 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... The attack in the village of Amchide, near the Nigerian border, was confirmed on Wednesday by a member of the self-defense force who requested anonymity, as well as by a security source in the capital, Yaounde. "I was in my sector when I heard a large kaboom in another part of the town," the self-defense source said. "We saw that a boy had blown himself up in the middle of a group from the security committee," he said. Two people were killed immediately, while two others died from their wounds later, he added. Attacks attributed to Boko Haram fighters have flared in northern Cameroon in recent weeks after months of relative calm, often targeting self-defense groups set up to respond to the jihadist threat.
