At least 30 people, including three attackers, were killed and at least 80 were injured in a triple suicide bombing blast on an island in Lake Chad, according to reports.
Security officials said the attacks on Saturday were carried out on the island of Koulfoua on the Chadian side of Lake Chad on a busy market day.
Police in Chad said the bombers were all women. No one has yet claimed responsibility for the blasts but officials suspect the attacks were carried out by members of the Boko Haram armed group from neighoubouring Nigeria.
General Banyaman Cossingar, Chad gendarmerie director general, confirmed the attack, saying Boko Haram is suspected, the AP news agency reported.

Boom!
Nothing to do with Islam! Workplace violence/Marketplace violence/Extremist violence hybrid! Nothing to do with Islam! Repeat, nothing to do with Islam! Quit over-reacting! White Christians do the same thing only worse! The Jews are worse than Hitler! Conservative American Islamophobic rhetoric caused this!
NOTHING TO DO WITH ISLAM!! Hail Obama!!
Maybe we should sell burkas made of blast blankets. That way when they set off the suicide bomb they just implode.
It could cause a fusion event....
Too many here-turning from one leads to another.
That is brilliant.
This behavior is not acceptable, and just doesn’t happen in other countries. We must do something about it.
The local drug store ran out of Midol?
Widows and orphans!
Hereâs $10 to take this package of âsaltâ to the market.â
Boom!

I would like to think he will eat his words but he won’t.
It is almost like the militants took his words and proved them wrong. Almost like saying “You think you don’t need to be afraid? We have all your countries infiltrated.”
