10-year-old Suicide Bomber Kills 5 in Damaturu....



In a renewed Boko Haram onslaught in Damaturu, a lone suicide bomber, suspected to be ten years old, killed five people and injured several others at the popular Bayan Tasha market/ motor park today.


The blast occurred at about 11a.m and according to eye witnesses, left many dismembered human parts littering the scene. At least 27 people were wounded, many critically, as ambulances continued to bring in the injured.

There was no immediate claim of responsibility for the blast, but it bore the hallmark of Islamist militant group Boko Haram, which has been fighting a six-year insurgency in a bid to establish an Islamic state in northern Nigeria.
