Suicide bomber kills 10 in Chad capital

A suicide bomber dressed as a woman killed around 10 people at a market in the capital of Chad on Saturday, police said, in the latest attack to hit the country on the frontline in the fight against Boko Haram Islamists. The bomber, wearing a full-face Islamic veil, blew himself up at the entrance to a market in N'Djamena around 8:45 am (0745 GMT), a police official told AFP, adding about 10 people were killed and several injured.
An AFP reporter at the scene counted nine bodies. At first police identified the killer as a woman but later police director general Taher Erda confirmed that the attacker was a man.
