Egypt condemned Tuesday the suicide bombings witnessed in the Chadian capital N'Djamena, leaving 27 people killed and 101 wounded, Al Bawaba News reported. Ministry of Foreign Affairs Spokesperson Badr Abdel Aty announced in a statement that the Egyptian government and people support the Chadian government and people of Chad in its war against terrorism. Abdel Aty expressed Egypt's condolences to the families of the victims, wishing the injured people speedy recovery. The suicide bombers suspected of belonging to Boko Haram terrorist group, which launched attacks in the Chadian capital N'Djamena on Monday, killing and wounding 128. Boko Haram, a Nigerian Salafist jihadi group, was founded in January 2002 by Mohammed Yusuf, in an attempt to apply the Islamic law (Sharia) on all the states of Nigeria. The group is currently led by Abubakar Shekau. The group, also known as Nigeria's Taliban, was formed by Nigerian students who had given up their education to establish their base in the northeast of the country, along the border with Niger. Boko Haram has carried out several brutal attacks against civilians in Nigeria and a number of African countries, including the recent kidnapping of 276 schoolgirls in 2014. It has pledged in March its allegiance to the Islamic State jihadist group, through an audio tape released on the group's Twitter account.
