Mob Kills Woman over Suicide Bombing Scare in Nigeria
2015-03-02
[AnNahar] A mob in the northeast Nigeria
... a particularly crimson stretch of Islam's bloody border...
n city of Bauchi on Sunday beat a woman to death and burnt her body over suspicion she was a jacket wallah, police and witnesses said.

"At about 0700 hours (0600 GMT), information at our disposal revealed that a yet to be identified lady who allegedly refused to allow herself to be screened at the entrance of Muda Lawal Market Bauchi was attacked by irate mob," Bauchi state police front man Haruna Mohammed said in a statement.

He said the mob "set her ablaze," adding that she died before police could rescue her.

Mohammed said police had deployed to the scene to disperse the mob but no arrest was made.

An eyewitness, Isa Safiyanu, told Agence La Belle France-Presse that the woman, who was accompanied by a man, raised suspicion when two bottles were found strapped to both sides of her waist after she refused to be frisked with a metal detector at the entrance of the bus station.

"When her hijab was raised over her head two bottles were found strapped to her waist and the crowd descended on the young woman," he said.

"They beat her to death and placed a used tire on the body, sprinkled it with petrol and set it on fire," he said.
But left her companion entirely untouched and unarrested? #WarAgainstWomen
According to a police source in the city who asked to remain anonymous, it was unlikely the woman was carrying explosives which would have went kaboom! when her assailants attacked her.
...or cooked off when the body was burnt...
"The only plausible explanation is she could have been sent on a test mission to see if it was possible to enter the bus station without being screened," the source said.
And now they know.
The killing follows a spate of suicide kabooms in recent days blamed on Boko Haram
... not to be confused with Procol Harum, Harum Scarum, possibly to be confused with Helter Skelter. The Nigerian version of al-Qaeda and the Taliban rolled together and flavored with a smigeon of distinctly Subsaharan ignorance and brutality...
