Chad police have arrested 62 women for wearing full veils in public as
the country steps up security against following a multiple suicide
bombing attack on Saturday, a police spokesman said. Security Minister
Ahmat Mahmat Bachir confirmed that the alleged perpetrators of the
bombings, which killed at least 40 people, had been wearing burkas at
the time.
He issued what he called a final warning to women continuing to flout a government ban on full-face veils, and said all those who ignored it would be considered terrorists.
Chadian authorities banned wearing full veils in public places in June to prevent suicide attacks, especially by the Nigerian armed group Boko Haram.
