« on: February 16, 2015, 01:17:23 PM »
Thirteen people have died as a result of a female suicide bomb attack at a bus station in the northeast Nigerian city of Damaturu, police said on Monday.

"The death toll from the suicide attack at the Damaturu motor park now stands at 13, with the death of six more victims at the hospital," Yobe state police spokesman Toyin Gbadegesin told AFP.

The attack happened in the state capital shortly after midday (1100 GMT) on Sunday and was blamed on Boko Haram, the Islamist group who have regularly used women and young girls as human bombs across northern Nigeria.

A woman with explosives packed on her body entered the city's main bus station and blew herself up among the crowds. Thirty-two people were injured
