A suicide bomber blew himself up at a crowded bus station in
Biu, northeast Nigeria, on Thursday, while a second bomber was shot dead before
he could detonate his explosives, witnesses told AFP.
Babagana Kyari, a civilian vigilante, said “at least 18
people, including three women, died… and several others were injured” although
there was no immediate corroboration of that death toll.
The attack happened after two men arrived the Tashar Gandu
motor park on the edge of the town in Borno state, where one detonated his
explosives among passengers and vendors, onlookers said.
