| [Iran Press TV] The Nigerian police say multiple kabooms have claimed the lives of at least 16 people and maimed more than a dozen others in the country’s troubled northeast. Police said on Monday that seven kabooms were carried out by suspected members of the 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... 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... terrorist group in the northeastern city of Maiduguri, the capital of Borno state. The kabooms occurred at the University of Maiduguri and in the Jere area of the city on Sunday evening and Monday morning. Borno police sources noted that a male bomber killed a security guard after entering the university late on Sunday. Around an hour later, four female bombers killed eight people on the outskirts of the city in Zannari community, in the Gwange district of Jere local government authority after detonating devices in residential buildings. Two female bombers were the only people to die in two blasts at the university on Monday morning. Damian Chukwu, Borno police commissioner, confirmed that at least 16 people had been killed in the latest wave of violence hitting the region. "In all, 16 persons, including the bombers, died in the multiple kabooms while 13 persons were maimed," he said. No group has so far grabbed credit for the latest attacks but they bear the hallmark of the Boko Haram Takfiri terrorist group, as it in the past employed radicalized females on multiple occasions to conduct bombing attacks against people or army troops. |
