| 2017-08-07 |
| [AlAhram] A suicide kaboom in the far north of 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... killed eight people, local officials and security sources said Sunday. The attack happened on Saturday evening at the village of Ouro-Kessoum, two kilometres from the Nigerian border, said the head of a local security committee who asked to remain anonymous. "There were eight killed and four maimed," in addition to the jacket wallah, he added The attack and the toll were both confirmed to AFP by a security source in the region. The injured had been evacuated to Mora, the district capital, the source added. The village lies in a region where 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 carry out frequent attacks, to the point that some local villages have emptied of their residents. In mid-July a double suicide kaboom killed 15 people in the town of Wasa, slightly further north and near the border with Nigeria. The attack was part of a surge of Islamist murderous Moslem violence in the region in recent weeks. |
