A female suicide bomber blew herself up outside the library
of a government school in western Nigeria on Wednesday, killing herself and
injuring three others, police said.
It was the first such attack in more than two years in the
western state of Niger.
The girl or woman was inside the Federal College of
Education at Katongora and approaching the library when the explosion went off
around 12:45 p.m. Wednesday, said Police Deputy Superintendent Ibrahim A.
Gambari.
Several previous attempts by female bombers have been
bungled, leading to suspicion the bombers may be unwilling attackers and might
be among hundreds of schoolgirls and young women kidnapped by Nigeria's
home-grown Boko Haram Islamic extremist group in recent years.
