Chad has executed 10 members of Islamist militant group Boko Haram by firing squad, a day after they were sentenced on terrorism charges, security sources said on Saturday.
“They were shot this morning at the Massaguet firing range,” one of the sources told Reuters, referring to a city about 60 km (40 miles) northeast of the capital N’Djamena.
