in northeast Nigeria on Tuesday when two female suicide bombers blew
themselves up in a refugee camp.
Reuters’ sources put the death toll at over 60 people. The tragedy at
the Dikwa refugee camp was only disclosed Wednesday because of a
“disrpupted telephone line”.
At least 78 more people were wounded in the twin bombing.
Some 50,000 people currently live at the Dikwa camp in the Borno State. The camp is located just 85 kilometers from Maiduguri, the biggest city in the region and birthplace of Boko Haram.
