Boko Haram Launch First Attack on Chad

Boko Haram insurgents reportedly launch their first attack Chad overnight.

The terrorists were 30 in number, and crossed Lake Chad via motorboats and attacked Ngouboua village, which is located near the shores of the lake, BBC reports.

 

According to eyewitness accounts, dozens of people were killed during the attack.

 

Sources are speculating that the attack stemmed from the fact that Chad recently joined Nigeria, Cameroon, and Niger to form a military coalition  against Boko Haram.
