Boko
Haram militants have reportedly killed at least 70 people in an attack
on the Cameroonian town of Fotokol, on the border with Nigeria. The Islamist militants attacked civilians in their homes and
in the town's mosque, local officials said, setting many buildings on
fire.
The attack comes a day after a regional force said it had driven the militants from a Nigerian town near Fotokol. The Boko Haram insurgency has left thousands dead over the last six years. More than a million people have also been displaced by the
militants, who now control a large stretch of land in north-eastern
Nigeria.
