Twin Blasts Kill 11 in Nigeria

817-620x310KABUL: (Middle East Press) Twin bomb blasts left at least 11 people dead in a northeastern Nigerian village, local officials said on Sunday.

The incident occurred in Dar village, in the north of Adamawa state, on Saturday evening, authorities confirmed.

Two female bombers were hiding among residents fleeing a suspected Boko Haram attack before they initiated the blasts, the officials added.

No group has claimed responsibility for the explosions, but authorities said that they bore the hallmarks of the Takfiri militant group Boko Haram.

Meanwhile, soldiers shot dead a suspected bomber outside the main military base in the restive northeastern state of Borno, according to reports.

The blasts come just two days after at least 34 people were killed in a wave of attacks on Thursday, while last month hundreds died in explosions across the country.

Nigeria has intensified crackdown on Boko Haram as the terrorist group continues to wreak havoc across the country through bombings, raids, and kidnappings.
