Officials say five girl suicide bombers have killed at least 12
people in Nigeria and Cameroon in weekend attacks. The bombers also
died.
Police who blamed Boko Haram say one girl detonated
explosives strapped to her body on Sunday evening at a military
checkpoint guarding an entry to the north-eastern city of Maiduguri. She
killed herself and seven other passengers who got off a bus to be
searched.
A dozen people were injured.
It was the first suicide bombing in nearly a month in Maiduguri, the birthplace of Nigeria's homegrown Islamic extremists.
Cameroon
said on Monday that four teenage suicide bombers killed themselves and a
family of five when they were stopped by self-defence fighters in that
country's Fotokol town, near Nigeria's border.
