Two dozen armed men tried to storm into Chad’s presidential palace but 18 of the attackers and two soldiers were killed in the failed attack, the national prosecutor said Thursday. Heavy gunfire erupted near the presidential complex just before 8:00 pm local time (1900 GMT) on Wednesday in the centre of N’Djamena, the capital of the military-ruled, central African country. FRANCE 24’s Harold Girard reports.
