Two suicide kaboomers in two attacks manage to kill one
 [AnNahar] A girl thought to be aged just 10 died after the boom jacket she was wearing went kaboom!in northeast Nigeria ... a particularly crimson stretch of Islam's bloody border... , a civilian vigilante said on Tuesday, as another attack killed one at a mosque. Musa Ahmad, who works with the military against 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... Islamists, said the incident happened at about 11:30 am (1030 GMT) in Banki, near the Cameroon ...a long, narrow country that fills the space between Nigeria and Chad on the northeast, CAR to the southeast.

"A girl of around 10 came by the military barracks and was trying to cross the road into the IDP (internally displaced persons) camp," he told AFP. "She was asked to stop by soldiers. But she ignored them. They threatened to shoot her if she didn't stop. She obeyed and she was asked to lift up her hijab. "She did and explosives were found to be strapped on her. Suddenly she pulled on the trigger and went kaboom!." No-one else was injured, said Ahmad, who added it was the second attempt on the camp in recent weeks. On January 18, a young woman and a teenage boy were shot when they refused to stop for a search and went kaboom!just outside the camp, he added. Earlier on Tuesday, at least one person was killed when a jacket wallah went kaboom!at a mosque at Dalori, on the outskirts of Maiduguri, during morning prayers, residents and the authorities said. Shuaibu Abubakar said the blast happened at about 5:30 am (0430 GMT) as a suicide bomber tried to enter the place of worship. "One of the worshippers, who was apparently on guard, grabbed him and the explosives went off, killing both of them. Worshippers were saved," he said. Tens of thousands of people displaced by the conflict are currently living at two camps set up at Dalori. Posted by: trailing wife 2017-02-01 |
