N'Djamena (AFP) - Chadian aircraft on Saturday bombed the Nigerian town of Gamboru in an operation targeting Islamist extremist group Boko Haram, security sources said.

A raid was carried out around midday by two fighter jets on the town in Nigeria's far northeast along the Cameroon border, sources from Chad and Cameroon said on condition of anonymity.
