everything is calm now.”
“We heard the first explosion about some few minutes after midnight
but soldiers were able to stop him from carrying out his attack when
they shot him near the security check post in Usmanti. His bombs went
off not quite 50 meters away from the sandbags at the check post as
soon as the soldier sitting on top of a security observation post shot
at him,” Mr. Bello said.
“The second one was a young girl who was trying to attack worshippers
in a mosque during the early morning prayer time at about 5.30am. Some
of our boys tried to stop her so she decided to detonate the bomb,
which killed her and one of our members. Two others were injured by
the explosion as well”.
