Terror threat

Female suicide bombers now disguise in men’s cloth, Nigerian military says

Nigerian Military authorities Friday said Boko Haram terrorists, in a bid to continue to set off explosives, had now resorted to hiding their true sex identity.

The Defence Headquarters said in a statement by Rabe Abubakar, its spokesperson, that female bombers now dress in men’s attire to have unhindered access to mosques to detonate bombs.

“The latest suicide attack in the mosque at Molai Umurari village in Borno State is instructive in this regard,” Mr. Abubakar, a Brigadier General, said in the statement.

Two female suicide bombers recently attacked a Mosque in Molai, a suburb of Maiduguri during the early morning prayers, killing 13 persons and injuring many.
