China concerned about suspected Boko Haram attack on workers in Cameroon

BEIJING (Reuters) - China's Foreign Ministry said on Tuesday it was "highly concerned" that suspected Boko Haram rebels from Nigeria had abducted Chinese workers in northern Cameroon, and urged authorities there to step up protection for its citizens.

In the attack on a Chinese work site in northern Cameroon, the rebels killed at least one Cameroonian soldier while 10 Chinese workers were missing and believed to have been abducted, officials and state media said.
