Nigeria: Suspected Boko Haram suicide bombers kill at least 13 in Biu

In Nigeria, suspected Boko Haram suicide bombers have killed at least 13 people and injured 53 in an attack on a market in the northeast town of Biu in Borno state.

In addition to 13 people, two bombers were killed. Officials said, the blasts struck while aid workers were distributing food to people affected by the eight-year conflict with Boko Haram. Yesterday’s attack bore the hallmarks of Boko Haram, which uses suicide bombers, often women and girls, to attack crowded public spaces.
