A teenage girl strapped with explosives ran away from a
crowded mosque this week, killing only herself, Yahoo News reports.
The girl took off after her companion blew
up in an explosion that killed 30 people on Monday in Maiduguri, witnesses and a mortuary worker said.
“In
the confusion of the blast, the other girl just ran away and only
exploded when she was far from the crowd,” said fishmonger Idi Idrisa.
Also on
Monday, a girl who looked no more than 12 years old detonated
explosives that killed 10 people and injured 30 in a crowded market at
Wagir village in Yobe state, according to truck driver
Malam Usaini Jibril.
