N'DJAMENA: At least 13 suspected Boko Haram militants and three civilians were killed in separate attacks over the weekend after the insurgents raided several remote localities around Lake Chad, Chadian security sources said on Monday.
The insurgents are also suspected of kidnapping some 30 people in Katikine village, near the lake.
The hostages were taken onboard four speedboats to an unknown destination, one of the security source said, asking not to be named.
