Suspected Boko Haram suicide bombers kill 27 in Chad capital

At least 27 people have been killed and more than 100 wounded in twin suicide bombings targeting police in the Chadian capital Monday, with the government blaming Boko Haram militants for the bloodshed. They were the first such attacks in the capital of the central African nation, which has been on the frontline of the regional fight against the Nigerian Islamist group.

Boko Haram chose the wrong target. These lawless and faithless terrorists will be flushed out and neutralised wherever they are.

Chadian government officials said in a statement.

Another 101 people were wounded in the simultaneous bombings outside the police headquarters and police academy in N'Djamena. Four “terrorists” were also killed. A police official had told AFP that two suicide bombers carried out the attacks, which came as police cadets were attending a training course at the academy. There was no immediate claim of responsibility but French President Francois Hollande also accused Boko Haram militants of being behind the “barbaric attack”.

These lawless terrorists will be chased out and neutralized wherever they are.
