Investigators are still trying to determine who is behind Thursday's deadly bombing in Kerawa. Police say the twin suicide attacks in this Northern Cameroon town killed at least 19 people. More than 140 were wounded. One attack targeted a market... the other blast hit a camp used by soldiers currently fighting Boko Haram militants from neighboring Nigeria. No one has yet claimed responsibility for the attacks. Cameroon has sent thousands of troops to its northern border where Boko Haram carries out frequent raids, killing some villagers, kidnapping others and in this case... launching suicide attacks.
