KANO,
Nigeria - Two little girls, approximately seven or eight years old, blew
themselves up in a northeastern Nigerian market on Sunday, killing
themselves and wounding at least 17 others, witnesses said.
The girls "must have been seven or eight", a local militia member in Maiduguri told AFP.
Emergency
services on-site in the town, the epicentre of the Boko Haram jihadist
insurgency, said 17 people sustained "relatively serious" injuries.
The attack was not immediately claimed by Boko Haram but bore all the
hallmarks of the jihadists, who have regularly used women and young
girls to carry out suicide attacks in their 7 year insurgent campaign in
the troubled region.
