A man wearing a burqa detonated a bomb outside the main market in the capital, Ndjamena, on Saturday, killing 14 people, a police spokesman said. It was the third attack in Ndjamena in less than a month, a spate of violence widely believed to have been organized by Boko Haram, an Islamist extremist group based in Nigeria. The police spokesman, Paul Manga, said that 74 people were wounded. The bomber attempted to enter the market, then detonated his bomb when military police tried to stop him, Mr. Manga said. Chad has been a major participant in the fight against Boko Haram, which has vowed to retaliate. Boko Haram has also attacked Chadian villages along the lake dividing Nigeria and Chad.
