Suicide attack at Nigeria market, many casualties feared
Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleHeavy casualties are feared after a suicide attack at a busy cattle market in the northeastern Nigerian city of Maiduguri, civilian vigilantes battling Boko Haram tell AFP.
The blast in the Borno state capital happened at about 1:00 pm (1200 GMT) as traders ended business for the day, Shettima Bulama says in an account backed up by another local vigilante.
“We’re trying to sift human bodies from carcasses of cattle that are strewn all over the place… I can’t give you a death toll now but we should expect high casualties,” he says.
The attack came after Boko Haram terrorists again pounded Maiduguri with rocket-propelled grenades in the early hours of Tuesday, after hitting the city in a similar attack on Saturday.
