Ten members of the Islamist militant group
Boko Haram have been executed by firing
squad in Chad.

It comes a day after they were found guilty of
terror charges at a trial in the capital
N'Djamena.

Security sources said they were shot at a firing
range north of the capital.

All 10 were convicted over their roles in twin
attacks on the capital in June, which killed at
least 38. A month after the attack, Chad
reintroduced the death penalty for acts of
terror.

"They were shot this morning at the Massaguet
firing range," a source told Reuters news
agency, referring to a city about 60km (40
miles) north-east of N'Djamena.

Among those to die was Mahamat Mustapha,
aka Bana Fanaye, who had been described as
the "mastermind" of June's attacks.

A school and a police building in the capital
were targeted by suicide bombers on
motorcycles, leaving more than 100 people
injured in addition to the dead.

Those attacks were followed by a blast at a
market in the capital in July, which killed 15
people.

The attacks were the first by the Nigerian-based
group in Chad, which hosts the headquarters of
a regional force set up to fight the militants.

The 10 were found guilty of charges including
criminal conspiracy, killings, wilful destruction
with explosives, fraud, illegal possessions of
arms and ammunition, and using psychotropic
substances, according to chief prosecutor
Bruno Mahouli Louapambe, quoted in AFP
news agency.

Chad has been instrumental in helping Nigeria
retake most of the areas Boko Haram had
seized.

The jihadists, who want to create their own
Islamic caliphate in Nigeria, have killed
thousands and forced millions to flee their
homes in the country's north-east Nigeria since
2009.

The militant group had previously threatened to
attack Chad, after it sent troops to help Nigeria
recapture territory from them, mostly in Borno
state.

Following the bombings, Chad banned people
from wearing the full-face veil.
But its attempts to crack down on terrorism
have attracted criticism from opposition and
civil liberties groups who fear it could be used
to curb civil rights.
