A female suicide bomber killed six people after blowing herself up in western Chad early Wednesday, a senior Army officer said, in an attack attributed to Nigeria's Boko Haram jihadists.
"Six people died, including a soldier," in the attack in Kaiga-Kindjiria district, said the source, speaking on condition of anonymity.
A number of people were also injured, the officer said, without giving figures. A provincial security official said a woman wearing an explosives-laden belt "blew herself up near the home of a traditional chief". Four guards as well as a soldier were among the dead, and five people were wounded, the official said.
