An apparent terrorist attempted to attack a leprosy hospital with a suicide vest in the restive northern region of Nigeria, according to a report.

Witnesses told Agence France Presse the bomber was stymied at the security checkpoint out front manned by vigilantes who have taken up arms in the fight against the ISIS-affiliated terrorist group Boko Haram.

The bomber apparently detonated his vest in front of the hospital, killing 5 and wounding 10, AFP reports.

Witnesses claimed he was one of three men dropped off near the hospital. The other two are believed to have fled in the confusion following the blast.

I stand corrected, I guess there it’s still more like the 1300s, unreal.

I mean an occasional case maybe, but an entire clinic ? WTF

I wonder How much money has been tossed into that hole over the last 100 years.
