Hmmm.....A
clear warning has been sounded by the government following the shocking
discovery of the new tactics used by Boko Haram suicide bombers to kill
innocent people.
Nigerians have been warned to be vigilant as female suicide bombers
have now found a new dubious way of bombing people without being
detected, BBC reports.
The report states that female suicide bombers are now carrying
babies to avoid detection in their attacks, authorities warn. According
to authorities, an attack in the town of Madagali on 13 January saw two
women detonate their devices, killing themselves, two babies, and four
others.
They had passed a vigilante checkpoint, mistaken for civilians because they were carrying infants.
Female attackers have been seen before, but officials said the use of babies could signal a “dangerous” trend. The insurgent group Boko Haram is widely suspected of having carried out the attack.
Four women attacked Madagali located in Adamawa State, which was
recaptured from Boko Haram in 2015. Two were stopped at a security
checkpoint, and detonated their devices, officials said.
The two women carrying infants, however, were not stopped, and exploded their own devices past the security point.
Boko Haram is known for using women, including young girls, as
suicide bombers, notes the BBC. Nigerians have been warned to be
vigilant and watch out for women carrying babies to avoid further
undetected terrorists passing without being caught.
