11 killed in operation against Boko Haram in Chad capital

Eleven people died early Monday after Chadian police launched an operation against Boko Haram militants in the capital, police said. "Five officers, five Boko Haram elements and one police informant" died in the raid in which officers seized several suicide belts, national police spokesman Paul Manga told AFP. The raid follows a June 15 double suicide attack blamed on Boko Haram that killed at least 33 people in N'Djamena in the deadliest attack of its kind in the Chadian capital.
