Four worshippers were killed in a
suicide bombing at a mosque in northern
Cameroon on Monday, a security source said, five
days after a similar attack left 12 people dead.
Monday's blast hit the village of Nguetchewe in
Cameroon's FaNorth region, in an area near the
border with Nigeria regularly targeted by Boko
Haram jihadists.
"The toll of this attack is four dead and two
injured," the source, who was at the scene of the
attack, told AFP.
A source close to regional authorities confirmed
that a deadly attack had taken place in
Nguetchewe, but was unable to provide details.
The security source said the attack took place
around 6:00 am (0500 GMT) just as morning
prayers were ending.
"The suicide bomber, a young boy, arrived in the
village by foot," the source said, adding that a
witness had noticed his behaviour seemed
suspicious and had tried to intercept him.
"The bomber ran towards the mosque, where he
set off the explosives he was carrying with him."
Cameroonian troops are at the scene of the
attack, the source said.
