Suspected members of Islamist extremist group Boko Haram attacked a border town in Cameroon today, leading to six hours of fighting that killed a soldier and several insurgents, authorities said.
The attack occurred in Kerawa, near areas of Nigeria recently taken over by Boko Haram. The group's five-year insurgency in Nigeria has left thousands dead, and the Islamists have occasionally carried out attacks over the border.
