Boko Haram suicide bomber kills 11 in Cameroon

Yaoundé (AFP) - A suicide bombing by a Boko Haram jihadist has killed 11 people in northern Cameroon, a provincial governor said Thursday, warning civilians not to breach special security measures aimed at preventing such attacks. "Seven people were killed immediately, including the bomber," the source said, adding that most of the victims were members of a local vigilante group tasked with hunting down Boko Haram fighters. "We are asking on the local population to wait until we give the go-ahead for the resumption of such activities, especially on the frontline," he said, referring to security measures put in place in the area in the wake of Boko Haram raids.
