A suicide
bomber below the age of 10 blew herself up at a busy market in the northeastern
Nigerian town of Potiskum, killing four others and seriously wounding 46
people.
The
girl got out of a tricycle taxi in front of the cell phone market and detonated
her explosives on Potiskum's main market day, according to survivor Anazumi
Saleh, who suffered injuries to his head.
There
was no immediate claim of responsibility but the attack bears all the signs of
similar bombings by Boko Haram and raises fears that Nigeria's home-grown
Islamic extremists are using kidnap victims as bombers.
