Four militants detonated
suicide bombs after being found out by a group of locals on a Lake Chad island,
killing three of the attackers but no one else, official and security sources
said on Wednesday.
The
maze of islands and waterways on the shrinking shores of Lake Chad are a
favourite hiding place for Islamist Boko Haram fighters who are mostly based in
neighbouring Nigeria's northeast but often cross into Chad, Niger and Cameroon.
