Two female suicide bombers
killed 22 people Wednesday at a mosque outside the northeastern Nigerian
city of Maiduguri,
The attack, which wounded 18 people, took place during morning prayers in the village of Ummarari, four miles
from the center of the capital of Borno state, heartland of Boko Haram.
This has been the first such assault in the northeast
since early February, when two suicide bombers — also women — blew
themselves up at a camp for internally displaced people in Dikwa, 50
miles from Maiduguri.
Twenty-two (22) people have been reported dead while 18 others have
sustained various degrees of injuries... The first attack targeted a
mosque, while the second blast was about 50 meters away.
There has been no immediate claim of responsibility
for the attack but it is being suspected that it is very similar to those carried out by Boko Haram in its
campaign to carve out an Islamic state in the region.
