21 killed by Boko Haram suicide attack on Shia procession in Nigeria says news
A Boko Haram suicide bomber has killed at least 21 people after blowing himself up among crowds at a Shia Muslim procession outside the city of Kano, Nigeria.
The attack occured as scores marched in the Arbaeen procession from Nigeria's second-largest city, where many Nigerians have fled to as the terror organisation has spread fear in the country's northern provinces.
Sheikh Muhammadu Mahmud Turi, who lead the Shia congregation in Kano, confirmed 21 people had been killed in the latest attack.
According to the Jihad monitoring service SITE Intelligence, Boko Haram claimed responsibility and named the bomber in a message on Twitter.
The group said: "When our brother reached his target, he detonated his explosive belt amidst their gathering."
It is believed one of the bombers ran into the crowd and detonated his explosives during the procession on Friday after he noticed his alleged companion was stopped by authorities...
well that is the news...
