Islamist militant group Boko Haram on Monday after he tried to detonate an explosive belt near a military post in the southern Niger town of Bagara, the army said on Tuesday.
Three Boko Haram fighters armed with knives also attacked a
military post and wounded a security agent in the town, an army
statement said.
Boko Haram has launched attacks into Cameroon, Niger and Chad from
Nigeria as part of a six-year insurgency that aims to set up a breakaway
Islamic state and now threatens the Lake Chad region.
The African Union has authorized nations including Niger to mount a counter-insurgency campaign.
