Chad to Arrest Anyone Wearing Niqab after Boko Haram Bombing
2015-07-13
[AnNahar] Chadian police on Sunday warned that anyone found wearing the Moslem full-face veil would be placed in durance vile
Youse'll never take me alive coppers!... [BANG!]... Ow!... I quit!

... 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...
suicide kaboom in the capital left 15 dead.

Saturday's attack in a bustling N'Djamena market by a man disguised as a woman in a full-face veil also injured 80 and spread panic across the city.

"This attack just confirms that a ban" on the full-face veil was justified, national police front man Paul Manga said, adding that "it now must be respected more than ever by the entire population."

"Anyone who does not obey the law will be automatically arrested and brought to justice," he warned.

The bomber detonated his explosives belt when he was stopped for security checks at the entrance to the city's main market.

Moslem-majority Chad banned the full-face veil, ramped up security measures and bombed krazed killer positions in Nigeria last month after the first ever Boko Haram attack in its capital.

Security was tightened across the dry and dusty capital on Sunday with police and soldiers deployed in all areas, including intersections, markets and mosques.

Nine of the dead were women traders, and fear still permeated the market on Sunday.

"What was happening elsewhere and what we heard about from media reports is now happening here," said Zenaba, a woman trader in her forties.

"I'm really scared for me and my children," she said.

Boko Haram grabbed credit on Twitter for the suicide kaboom, signing off as "Islamic State
...formerly ISIS or ISIL, depending on your preference. Before that al-Qaeda in Iraq, as shaped by Abu Musab Zarqawi. They're very devout, committing every atrocity they can find in the Koran and inventing a few more. They fling Allah around with every other sentence, but to hear the pols talk they're not really Moslems....
, West Africa province" -- the krazed killers' self-styled moniker since pledging allegiance to the Islamic State group in March.
