Nigeria: Two suicide bombers, both teenage girls, kill 30

Two female suicide bombers blew themselves up Tuesday in a crowded market in Nigeria's northeastern city of Maiduguri, killing at least 30 people, according to witnesses and a security official.

 

The two teenage girls dressed in full hijab entered the busy market and detonated their explosives, said Abba Aji Kalli, the Borno state coordinator of the Civilian Joint Task Force.

 

The first set off her explosives and killed about three women, said Kalli.

 

When others gathered around the scene, the second bomber screamed and blew herself up, killing about 30, he said.
