Two young suicide bombers killed three people in far north Cameroon on Sunday, the latest attack to hit a region that has been rocked by strikes blamed on Boko Haram Islamists from neighbouring Nigeria. The youths set off their suicide belts in the town of Mora as a police officer became suspicious of their appearance and approached to question them, a security source said.
"The toll is five dead including two civilians, a police inspector and the two suicide bombers," a security source at the scene told AFP.
A separate source close to regional security forces confirmed the toll and said the attackers, who aimed to target the town's market, were a "young girl and a young boy," without giving any more details.
