Two Cameroon Soldiers Killed In Cross Border Boko Haram Attack by AwesomeRomeo: 4:50pm On Jul 25, 2014
(AFP) – A suspected crossborder raid overnight by Nigeria’s
radical Islamic group Boko Haram killed two Cameroonian
soldiers, a Cameroonian security official said Friday on
condition of anonymity.
The attack occurred late Thursday in the border village of
Balgaram in northern Cameroon. Eight soldiers posted there
fought back, and “in the clash we lost two men,” the official said.
Military reinforcements were sent to the area and several troops
“entered Nigerian territory with the aim of finding the
assailants,” the official said.
The armed Boko Haram movement is seeking to install an
extremist Islamic state in Nigeria. It started its bloody
insurgency in 2009.
In recent days, the group has been blamed for several clashes,
abductions and killings targeting troops in northern Cameroon
deployed to counter them.
More than 3,000 Nigerians fleeing Boko Haram attacks have
taken refuge in the Cameroonian town of Fotokol, a municipal
official said.
“We are worried about infiltrations” by the Islamists among the
refugees, a police officer in the town said.
