7 killed in suicide attack in Cameroon

AFP, YAOUNDÉ: At least seven civilians were killed Friday in a suicide attack in Kolofata, northern Cameroon, a region where Nigeria’s Boko Haram Islamists are highly active, local officials said.
“We’ve registered eight deaths at the site, including the suicide bomber,” a regional security source said without saying if the attack on a food stall was carried out by a man or a woman.
A source close to regional authorities also confirmed the attack to AFP and put the toll at eight dead, including the attacker. It was the second time that Kolofata, which is regularly targeted in attacks blamed on Boko Haram, has been hit by a suicide attacker. At least seven were killed there in a double suicide attack on September 13.
