5 killed in suicide bomb attack in northern Cameroon

At least five people were killed in a suicide bomb attack on Sunday in the northern Cameroon town of Mora.

Cameroonian military says the incident is the latest in what appears to be the cross-border attack by Nigeria’s Boko Haram Islamist militant group.

The dead included two civilians and the two female suicide bombers, who detonated themselves at around 8 a.m. when they were stopped by a police officer near the entrance to the town.

The police officer was also killed.

Boko Haram has been waging a six-year insurrection to establish an Islamist state in the northeast of Nigeria.

The group has killed thousands and displaced 2.1 million people, most of whom are children.

In April 2014, the group gained worldwide notoriety when it kidnapped more than 270 schoolgirls from the town of Chibok in northern Nigeria’s Borno state.

The militant group controlled vast swathes of territory across three states in northeastern Nigeria at the beginning of 2015 but was pushed out by Nigerian troops with the help of Chad, Niger and Cameroon.

Following a heavy loss due to the renewed efforts by the Military, Boko Haram factions have reverted to guerrilla tactics, raiding villages for supplies and bombing soft targets like places of worships, markets and bus stations.

When you kill a woman/female ............ you feel happy.......... what a shame..............
