He put the toll from Sunday night’s attack at 10 dead and several wounded.
A local humanitarian worker said at least 9 people were dead and two injured. The worker spoke on condition of anonymity because he was not permitted to speak to the press. Chad has suffered attacks for years by Nigeria’s Boko Haram militants, who have crossed borders and killed tens of thousands during its 10-year insurgency.Many fighters are in the Lake Chad region, launching attacks in Nigeria, Chad, Cameroon and Niger.
