Around midday on Saturday, Chadian aircraft bombed the
Nigerian town of Gamboru in a raid targeting Islamist extremist group Boko
Haram. A raid was carried out by two fighter jets along the Cameroon border,
sources from Chad and Cameroon said on condition of anonymity.
Nigeria’s military said on Thursday that its fighter jets
had bombed the northeast town of Malam Fatori, also controlled by Boko Haram.
Witnesses and some media reports said troops and airforce
planes from Chad were also involved in that operation on Nigerian soil but
Abuja neither confirmed nor denied the claim. UN Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon
on Saturday gave his backing to an African Union proposal to set up a regional
five-nation force of 7,500 troops to fight Boko Haram.
