Three young female suicide bombers detonated explosives - two of them together at a market in Madagali Monday morning, killing 30 people, a local official said, and one at a checkpoint in Maiduguri, where one person died.

Sunday evening in Maiduguri, Nigerian troops battled armed Boko Haram fighters trying to enter the city, fighting that left at least 21 people dead and 91 wounded, according to Mohammed Kanar, head of National Emergency Management Agency (NEMA).

The Nigerian troops had spotted a group of armed Boko Haram fighters trying to cross a trench to get into the Jiddari Polo area of Maiduguri and opened fire on them, said Babakura Kolo, a vigilante assisting the military in fighting Boko Haram.

That city has been fortified with trenches to prevent infiltration by Boko Haram.

The later attacks in Madagali, with two young female suicide bombers, left 30 dead and at least 16 wounded, according to a local government official who asked not to be named.

Yet there are still people here that feel importing additional Muslims is a good thing for our country. Sheesh.

There’s a good chance these girls were Christians forced or tricked to do this. If that’s the case, they will be rewarded as all martyrs for the faith.

I can’t help but wonder if the “young females” were part of the over 200 girls who were kidnapped from their homes.

I don’t think any of them got returned .. did they ..??

That makes them victims, not martyrs. Maybe they were strapped with explosives because they wouldn’t renounce their faith - but are they still martyrs if they walk into a crowd and take 30 innocent people along with them?

I’m not sure how you force a girl who is going to die anyway to go into that crowd and kill people - maybe you threaten to torture her 10 year old sister to death.
