YAOUNDE, Feb. 9 (Xinhua) -- Boko Haram has killed at least eight fishermen in raids on communities around Lake Chad in Cameroon's Far North Region, local and security sources said on Thursday.

Residents and military sources said the militants ambushed and killed the fishermen in a series of raids between Tuesday and Wednesday in the Logone and Chari division of the region where the lake is located.

Corpses of the slain fishermen were discovered by villagers on Wednesday, said a traditional leader in the region who asked not to be named.

The terror group has killed more than 2,000 people since it launched attacks in Far North Region in 2014, according to security reports and local non-governmental organizations. Enditem
