Boko Haram blamed for killing 13 in Cameroon

By
Radical Islamist group Boko Haram is suspected of being behind the killing of 13 people in two attacks in northern Cameroon, a military source said on Sunday.

Two female suicide bombers blew themselves up Saturday near a military post in Dabanga close to the Nigerian border, killing eight people, including themselves, and injuring more than 12, said Joseph Nouma, commander of an anti-terrorism unit.
In Goudouzou, also near the border, five people were killed and houses set alight by armed attackers, Nouma said.
At least 100 people have been killed in suicide attacks in Cameroon’s Far North region since July. Boko Haram, which is based in Nigeria, has been blamed for all the attacks.

Must Read Fiction Series: Curse of The Seventh Sword – The War of Two Realms: Chapter One – War

By

A trail of fiery light fell away behind it, and the light from the ball and its trail illuminated the land beneath them. The yellow light caught faces looking up at the ball in morbid fear. There was a gasp that travelled through the land and crossed the hardly distinct divide between ally and foe. The Fireball was a sight to behold, but its lifespan was agonizingly short. It wailed even louder as the force that binds, took hold of it and began reeling it faster and faster back down to earth. There were screams of terror among the ranks.
