[Iran Press TV] At least five people have been killed and 15 others maimed in an kaboom in the northeastern Nigerian city of Gombe, witnesses say.Muhammad Garkuwa, a drivers' union official, said that the bomb went off near a bus station on Thursday. "The kaboom was from an explosive left by a woman in her handbag beside a bus waiting to convey passengers to Jos," he said. Other witnesses also made similar remarks about the incident. Yusuf Darazo, who sells food near the bus station, said, "No-one suspected her. People around assumed she was making calls before the bus filled up." "She disappeared and the bag went kaboom!soon after, setting the bus on fire. I saw five dead and several injured," he said. No group has yet grabbed credit for the attack, although Takfiri ...an adherent of takfir wal hijra, an offshoot of Salafism that regards everybody who doesn't agree with them as apostates who must be killed... Boko Haram ... not to be confused with Procol Harum, Harum Scarum, possibly to be confused with Helter Skelter. The Nigerian version of al-Qaeda and the Taliban rolled together and flavored with a smigeon of distinctly Subsaharan ignorance and brutality... group often carry out similar attacks.
