A young girl suicide bomber Sunday blew
herself up and five others when the explosive devices strapped to her body
detonated in a market in Nigeria’s northesatern city of Potiskum, witnesses
said.
Nineteen others who sustained various degrees
of injury were taken to hospital after the blast, a local vigilante leader told
AFP.
“So far, five people were killed with the girl
while 19 others have been taken to hospital for injuries,” Buba Lawan said. Witnesses
said she appeared to be as young as seven-years-old.
