I would lay odds the child suicide bomber had no choice in it. Agreed. The 10 year old was as much a victim of this bombing as the others killed by the bomb.

Could she have been one of the abducted girls?

Wow, hadn’t thought of that. You could be right. I’m sure Boko Haram would think that was an appropriate use for them.
