Boko Haram revenge attack claims at least 100 lives

Boko Haram fighters have killed more than 100 people in a revenge attack on the north Cameroon town of Fotokol, murdering residents inside their homes and burning down a mosque. The massacre comes amid a major regional offensive against the Islamic group, most recently the killing of over 200 Boko Haram militants by the Chadian army in the town of Gamboru on Wednesday. "Boko Haram entered Fotokol through Gambaru early in the morning and they killed more than 100 people in the mosque, in the houses and they burned property," said the civic leader Abatchou Abatcha, reached by telephone. The militants shot and killed one of his sons during the raid, he added. Many of the dead were found with their throats slit, according to Cameroon's L'Oeil du Sahel newspaper.
