Dozens of worshippers were killed
after two suicide bombers blew
themselves up in a mosque in the
north-eastern Nigerian city of
Maiduguri, said witnesses.
All the people in the mosque died.
Not a single one escaped, said
Muhtari Ahmadu, a trader near the
scene on Thursday.
We counted 42 dead bodies
outside the mosque, added Amadu
Marte, a vigilante supporting the
security forces in the fight against
Boko Haram, which has carried out repeated attacks in the region.
Police confirmed that the mosque
was hit by twin bombings, but
gave a lower toll of about 14 dead.
Following the explosions, the
mosque collapsed and injured
many people praying
