Two girl suicide bombers kill at least 30 in Nigerian market

#suicidebomber #nigeria #bokoharam #mosque #ISIS Two teenage girls blew themselves up and killed at least 30 people in a twin suicide bomb attack. The venue of the attack was near a crowded mosque in a bustling market in Maiduguri. The people were from the Baga Road fish market and were praying during the Muslim holy month of Ramadan.
Maiduguri is the largest city of northeast Nigeria and is considered to be the birthplace of Boko Haram, the Islamic extremist group.
This has been reported in dailymail.co.uk dated 23 June 2015.

It is feared that the two girl suicide bombers had been captives of the Boko Haram terror group who forced them to blow themselves up. This was the fourth suicide bombing in Maiduguri over the past three weeks.
As explained by a military bomb disposal expert, most of the bombs carried by girls and women are installed with remote detonation devices which means the carrier cannot control the explosion.
It may be recalled that Boko Haram has sworn allegiance to ISIS in March and has kidnapped thousands of girls and women over the past few years. The increase in the number of females carrying out suicide bomb attacks on behalf of the militants would make one wonder whether these innocent captives are being forced to become suicide bombers and blow themselves up.
