Nigeria suicide bomber ‘had baby strapped to her back’
Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleA female suicide bomber who attacked a town in northeast Nigeria earlier this month was carrying a baby at the time, the country’s main relief agency says.
But the National Emergency Management Agency (NEMA) says it was unclear whether this was a new tactic on the part of Boko Haram Islamists to allow would-be bombers to evade detection.
“From the report we got after the Madagali attack (on January 13), one of the female suicide bombers had a baby strapped to her back,” said the NEMA coordinator for Adamawa state, Saad Bello.
At least two other people were killed and 15 others injured in the explosions in Madagali carried out by four female bombers.
