Around 10 dead, 100 wounded in twin blasts in northern Cameroon


    YAOUNDE (Reuters) - Around 10 people were killed and some 100 wounded on Thursday when a bomb went off near an army camp in northern Cameroon, where soldiers are battling Boko Haram fighters from Nigeria, army and police sources said, and another blast hit a market.

    "For the moment there are around 10 dead and about 100 wounded in the attack near the camp ... We're still awaiting a report from our teams on the bombing at the market," a senior army officer based in northern Cameroon said.
