Maiduguri — Officials say five girl suicide bombers have killed at least 12 people in Nigeria and Cameroon in weekend attacks. The bombers also died. Police who blamed Boko Haram say one girl detonated explosives strapped to her body on Sunday evening at a military checkpoint guarding an entry to the north-eastern city of Maiduguri. She killed herself and seven other passengers who got off a bus to be searched. A dozen people were injured.
