Cameroon Army Kills 10 Suspected Boko Haram Militants
« on: June 26, 2014, 05:28:15 PM »
Cameroon security forces have killed at least 10 suspected Boko Haram militants in three clashes in the north of the country near its border with Nigeria, a senior military official said on Thursday.

Cameroon has deployed over 1,000 troops along the  border after it came under pressure from its neighbor for not doing enough to counter the Islamist insurgents, who are suspected of using Cameroon as a base.

Boko Haram grabbed global attention after kidnapping more than 200 girls from a school in northeast Nigeria in April, since then the group has killed hundreds of civilians. It has also carried out attacks and kidnappings in Cameroon.

Cameroon defense forces killed six members of Boko Haram on Tuesday in the village of Wambache, Colonel Felix Nji Formekong, a regional military commander, told Reuters.
