Chad police: Anyone wearing face veils will be arrested...

Chadian police have said anyone wearing a full-face veil will be arrested, a day after a Boko Haram suicide bombing - carried out by an attacker disguised as a women wearing one - left 15 dead.

Saturday's attack at a market in the capital, N'Djamena, also injured 80 others and spread panic across the city. The assailant detonated an explosives belt when he was stopped for security checks at the entrance to the city's main market.

"This attack just confirms that a ban on the full-face veil was justified," national police spokesman Paul Manga said, adding that "it now must be respected more than ever by the entire population".

"Anyone who does not obey the law will be automatically arrested and brought to justice," he warned. Full story...
