Toll Rises In Cameroon Suicide Bombing To 19 Dead, 143 Wounded


The death toll in a double suicide bombing on Thursday in the northern Cameroon town of Kerawa has risen to 19 dead and 143 wounded, a senior local government official said.

One bomb went off near an army camp in the Far North region and another hit a market.

Cameroon is part of a regional coalition fighting Islamic militant group Boko Haram, which has waged an insurgency in northern Nigeria for six years and attacked neighbouring states, reports Reuters.
