LAGOS: -- More than 60 people have been killed in north east Nigeria after two female suicide bombers detonated their explosive vests.

The pair reportedly walked into a 50,000 strong refugee camp filled with people fleeing the insurgency in the north by the jihadist Boko Haram group.

A third woman was arrested after refusing to set off her bomb when she realised her family were among those inside.

The attack took place 85 km near the town of Dikwa in Borno state.It happened on Tuesday but a breakdown in the phone system delay the news of the atrocity.

No group has claimed responsibility but the Nigerian authorities said the attack bore the hallmarks of Boko Haram which has frequently used female bombers and even children to hit targets.

It comes shortly after the Nigerian army attacked strongholds near Kalabalge, killing dozens of Boko Haram fighters and rescuing hundreds of woman.

The militant group has recently increased the frequency and deadliness of attacks with three at the end of January. At least 65 people were killed outside Borno state capital Maiduguri on Jan 31.

Since it lost territory to a government counter-offensive last year, Boko Haram has reverted to hit-and-run attacks on villages and suicide bombings at places of worship or markets.

Boko Haram has only rarely targeted camps housing people displaced by the conflict and Tuesday’s attack was the first one to kill victims in Borno state.

The same would be occurring in the EU...just a matter of time...

A third woman was arrested after refusing to set off her bomb when she realised her family were among those inside.

What a thoughtful and caring person. She didn't want to blow up her own family but it's ok to blow up other peoples' families.

Nigeria: suicide bomber turns herself in after recognising relatives among potential victims
Euronews

NIGERIA -- More details have emerged about a suicide bomb attack on a refugee camp in north-eastern Nigeria.

Earlier this week, two female suicide bombers killed more than 60 at a camp in Borno state.

It houses people fleeing the insurgency by Boko Haram extremists in the northeastern town of Dikwa.

News of the attack filtered through slowly due to poor communications in the region.

Third bomber “recognised family”

Officials say a third female kamikaze refused to detonate her device when she realized that her parents and siblings were in the camp.

They say she turned herself in and warned of further attacks planned in the region.

Dozens injured

Officials say 78 people were injured in the attack.

So far, no group has admitted being behind the attack.

However, it bears all the hallmarks of Boko Haram.

The group has frequently used women and even children to hit its targets.

50000 in camp. This is only 1 camp. 1.1 million syrians at their best age in EU. That would make a great army. Train them. Send them back and let them fight for their home. But not going to happen. While they are on social welfare we send our boys to die.

Strange.

I haven't seen any Nigerian flags on people's facebook pages.

Ah the religion of peace in all of it's glory.

I wonder what would happen if the Muslims didn't have such a peaceful religion to follow?
