| 2015-02-16 |
| [TIME] A teenage girl detonated a suicide bomb in a bus station in northeast Nigeria ... a particularly crimson stretch of Islam's bloody border... Sunday, killing 16 people, most of them children. Although nobody has yet taken responsibility for the attack, it closely resembles others carried out by Islamist holy warrior group 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... , which has frequently used maidens of tender years as jacket wallahs in the past. The bomber detonated the bomb at the bus station in Damaturu, the capital of the Yobe state, at around 1 p.m. Many of the victims were children who had been selling peanuts or begging near the bus station, the News Agency that Dare Not be Named reports, and 30 other people were maimed. Witnesses said the bomber was around 16 years old. |
