The raid was part of intensified operations against the sect following the twin suicide bombings of June 15 which claimed 34 lives in Chad.
“After an interrogation, a suspect showed us a house for building bombs,” Interior Minister, Abderahim Bireme Hamid told Reuters.
“When we arrived on the scene at 5 a.m. our forces came across the...terrorists who blew themselves up,” he added.
