Chad bans Islamic face veil after suicide bombings
2015-06-18
[BBC] Chad has banned people from wearing the full-face veil, following two suicide kabooms on Monday.

Chad's government accused Nigerian Lion of Islam Islamist group 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...
of the bombings which killed more than 20 people.

The prime minister said the veil was used as a "camouflage" by faceless myrmidons and said the security forces will burn all full-face veils sold in markets.

Chad is to host a new regional force set up to tackle Boko Haram.

The Lion of Islam group has not commented on the attack but has previously threatened to attack Chad, after its forces started to help Nigeria.

At a meeting with religious leaders, Prime Minister Kalzeube Pahimi Deubet said the ban applied everywhere, not only public places.

He added that any clothing that covers everything but the eyes was a camouflage.

The attackers were on cycle of violences when they blew themselves up outside two police buildings in the capital, N'Djamena.
