Kano, Nigeria (CNN)Three suicide bombers carried out
coordinated attacks Saturday at a village market in Chad, killing 27 people and
wounding about 80 others, security sources said. Three suicide bombers blew
themselves up in three locations at the weekly market on Koulfoua, an island on
the Chadian side of the lake, according to a security source. The latest
bombing comes after the Chadian authorities declared a state of emergency in
region on November 9 following repeated Boko Haram attacks.
More information to come. The militants' recent bombings have
been seen as reprisal attacks. And Chad has been repeatedly targeted by Boko
Haram militants, as it is a major force in helping Nigeria fight the group.
Recently, military onslaught has forced the terrorists to opt for suicide
bombing of soft targets. The deadliest attack on Chad's aspect of the lake
passed off on October 10, one other triple suicide, which killed forty one
individuals at Baga Sola, based on I'Djamena. "The soldiers also recovered
2,000 cows rustled from various persons over time and rescued women and
children held captives by the Boko Haram".
Forces from Nigeria
and neighboring Chad, which has played a key role in the ongoing effort, drove
the extremists from northern Nigeria, where they had proclaimed an Islamic
caliphate, earlier this yaer. The U.S. Embassy in Nigeria has issued as warning
with regard to information about possible terror attacks by Boko Haram on
hotels popular with Americans in the country. The Department of State Services
said those arrested had travelled from the restive northeast of the country to
the Federal Capital Territory (FCT) and were planning on staging attacks in
Abuja during the year-end festivities. Female terrorists are not new, but have
been making headlines recently.
