Islamic face veil has been banned in Chad after multiple suicide bombings which left at least 20 persons dead.

According to BBC, Chadian Prime Minister said the veil was used as a "camouflage" by militants during the attack. He also said that henceforth, security forces will burn all full-face veils sold in markets.

Prime Minister Kalzeube Pahimi Deubet said the ban applied everywhere, not only public places. He added that any clothing that covers everything but the eyes was a camouflage.

The full-face Islamic veil was also banned in May in public places in Congo-Brazzaville, to "counter terrorism."
