Boko Haram's Islamic Rampage Spills Into Chad

The Islamic terror group Boko Haram has launched its first deadly attack inside the African country of Chad.

The assault took place in the village of Ngouboua on the shore of Lake Chad. The United Nations reports Ngouboua is home to nearly 3,300 refugees who had fled from Boko Haram's ongoing rampages back home in Nigeria.

Boko Haram's war to create an Islamic state in Nigeria has been spilling over into neighboring countries for weeks.

The group has unleashed terror across the region, attacking villages, killing thousands of civilians, and taking hundreds of girls and women as hostages.

The latest uptick in violence comes after Chad, Niger, Cameroon, and Benin all pledged military support to fight the terrorist group.

Boko Haram is also suspected of bombing a crowded market in northeast Nigeria on Thursday, killing and wounding a large but undetermined number of victims.

This week also marks 300 days since the Islamic terrorist group snatched more than 270 girls from a boarding school in Chibok, Nigeria, in the dead of night.
