Two female suicide bombers
claimed the lives of at least 45 people when they set themselves
off in close succession in a crowded market in the north-eastern
Nigerian city of Maiduguri, eyewitnesses and hospital sources
said Tuesday.
The attacker was wearing a hijab and pretending to carry a
baby on her back when she detonated the explosive, eyewitnesses
said.
The second bomber detonated herself after rescue and
emergency workers arrived on the scene. Both attackers were
adolescent girls, sources said.
