Boko Haram militants kill 11 Chad troops: military source

N'DJAMENA (Reuters) - Suspected militants from Nigeria's Boko Haram group killed 11 soldiers from neighboring Chad in a overnight attack in a border region, a Chadian military source said. Seventeen attackers died also in the fight, the source told Reuters. Chad is a leading contributor to a 8,700-strong regional force fighting Boko Haram, which has expanded beyond its northeast Nigerian heartland to attack Chad, and other neighbors, Niger and Cameroon.
