An attack on Chad's presidential palace left 18 assailants dead and six in custody, with one soldier killed and three wounded. The attack occurred while Chadian President Mahamat Deby Itno was inside the palace, but authorities said the situation was quickly brought under control. Foreign Affairs Minister Abderaman Koulamallah described the attackers as disorganized and intoxicated by alcohol and drugs, and said it was probably not terrorism.
