Chad seizes suspected Boko Haram weapons cache in N'Djamena

N'DJAMENA (Reuters) - Security forces in Chad have seized a large weapons cache including guns, rockets and ammunition in a house in the capital N'Djamena occupied by suspected members of Nigerian Islamist group Boko Haram, officials said on Friday.

The weapons, buried under the courtyard of the house in the eastern neighbourhood of Guinebor, were destined for northern Nigeria, where Boko Haram has launched a wave of attacks in recent weeks despite suffering heavy military defeats this year.
