At least 25 people were killed today in a series of suicide attacks in the far north of Cameroon, a region often targeted by Nigeria's Boko haram Islamist group, according to a police toll.
"An initial toll shows 29 dead and around 30 injured," a police source said, speaking on condition of anonymity, told AFP, without specifying whether the fatalities included the bombers and whether there were three or four blasts.
