Suspected militants kill 10 in Cameroon suicide bombing

[AlAhram] A suicide kaboom by suspected members of Nigerian Islamist hard boyz 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...
killed at least 10 people over the border in the Far North region 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...
on Saturday, security sources said.
Boko Haram has mounted numerous attacks in Cameroon, Chad, Niger and Nigeria this year and is turning the border region near Lake Chad into a war zone, the United Nations
...a formerly good idea gone bad...
refugee agency said last month.
"The initial figures speak of 10 dead including the jacket wallahs and around a dozen maimed," said a senior Cameroonian army commander of the attack on the village of Nigue, a suburb of Fotokol town.
Boko Haram has waged a six-year campaign for an Islamist state in northeastern Nigeria. Neighbouring countries joined an offensive against the group this year and the conflict spilled across their borders, displacing tens of thousands of people.
Boko Haram used Cameroon's impoverished Far North to stockpile supplies and recruits until the government cracked down last year.
Cameroon is also in an 8,700-strong regional force led by Nigeria against the Death Eaters, expected to be operational by the end of the year. The United States is sending military supplies and troops to the central African country to aid the fight.
