KANO, Nigeria: Four teenage girl suicide bombers have killed two people in multiple attacks in northeast Nigeria, residents said Saturday, in the latest assault since the government announced it was in ceasefire talks with Boko Haram. The suspected Boko Haram attack took place late Friday in the northeast Borno state capital of Maiduguri, the epicentre of the group's Islamist insurgency. "We lost two people, a woman and a boy, in two of the four suicide explosions," Zawuya resident Musa Haruna Isa said. The attack highlighted the challenge the government faces in reaching a ceasefire agreement with the fractionalised Boko Haram. Both camps have been repeatedly targeted by Boko Haram attacks.
