A mine planted by
Islamist militant group Boko Haram killed at least two soldiers on
Tuesday in the town of Bosso in Niger's southeastern region of Diffa,
Niger's defense ministry said. It was the first time
Niger has accused the insurgents of planting a mine in recent fighting
around Diffa. Niger, Cameroon and Chad have launched military action
against Boko Haram which launched its revolt in Nigeria six years ago
and has recently stepped up cross-border attacks.
