Authorities in northern Cameroon say a local
self-defense group used a poisoned arrow to kill a woman with explosives
strapped to her body. Midjiyawa Bakary, the governor of Cameroon’s Far North
region, said Wednesday that the 40-year-old woman had crossed over from
neighboring Nigeria along with a 14-year-old girl.
Local residents shot the poisoned arrow at the
woman after she failed to stop as demanded. The girl also died when she
detonated her own explosives.
Residents near the northern town of Mora said at
least five other suicide bombers have died in the last several days. The
attacks were reported shortly before Cameroon’s president Paul Biya left for
Nigeria to discuss ways of ending Boko Haram violence with his Nigerian
counterpart.
