| [AnNahar] At least seven non-combatants were killed Friday in a suicide kaboom in Kolofata, 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... , a region where Nigeria's 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... Islamists are highly active, local officials said. "We've registered eight deaths at the site, including the jacket wallah," a regional security source said without saying if the attack on a food stall was carried out by a man or a woman. A source close to regional authorities also confirmed the attack to Agence La Belle France Presse and put the toll at eight dead, including the attacker. It was the second time that Kolofata, which is regularly targeted in attacks blamed on Boko Haram, has been hit by a suicide attacker. At least seven were killed there in a double suicide attack on September 13. The town is located near Kerawa, another Cameroonian town which lies on the Nigerian border where up to 40 people bit the dust on September 3 in one of the deadliest attacks on Cameroonian territory. |
