Islamic terrorists Sneak Into Camp For Victims Of Terrorism, They Blow Themselves Up And Slaughter Eight People

By Theodore Shoebat

Islamic terrorists in Nigeria snuck up into a camp for victims of terrorism, and blew themselves up, slaughtering eight people. As we read in one report:

At least eight people have been killed in multiple suicide blasts along a highway in Maiduguri in northeastern Nigeria, security sources told Al Jazeera.

Two of those killed on Wednesday were civilians in a camp for displaced people on the outskirts of the city.

Police said five male suicide bombers detonated explosives.

At the vast Muna camp, blasts triggered fires which burned down tents, Tijjani Lumani, a coordinator at the camp told the AFP news agency.

“There were four explosions inside the camp. The bombers struck at different locations around 4:30am.” Lumani said.

The camp houses tens of thousands of people who have fled violence in Nigeria’s north, where the government is fighting the armed group Boko Haram.

There was no immediate claim of responsibility for the attacks but Maiduguri has been frequently targeted by Boko Haram fighters.

According to eyewitnesses, the bombers had sneaked into the camps late on Tuesday night alongside those who sell charcoal to refugees, who use it to cook their food.

Wednesday’s blasts were the latest blamed on suicide bombers, who continue to pose a threat to civilians despite military claims of success against Boko Haram.

Four people were killed on Saturday when suicide bombers blew themselves up in a village near Maiduguri.

On Tuesday, Nigerian President Mohammadu Buhari met security chiefs in the capital Abuja to review the security situation in the country. The nearly seven years Boko Haram crisis topped the agenda of the review, according to a presidential aide.

Maiduguri, the state capital of Borno state, is the birthplace of the Boko Haram insurgency, which has claimed the lives of over 20,000 people and forced 2.6 million from their homes since 2009.
