Islamist terror in Nigeria

The Herald reports:

After days of razing villages and massacres, Boko Haram finished the week with its most chilling atrocity.

As shoppers bustled through the market in the Nigerian city of Maiduguri, a device worn by a 10-year-old girl exploded near the entrance. A witness said the child probably had no idea that a bomb had been strapped to her body.

The explosion just before lunch killed 20 including the girl and injured 18, according to the police.

Boko Haram did not claim responsibility for the attack immediately, but the Islamist insurgents have increasingly used girls as human bombs as they carve an African “Caliphate” from the plains of northern Nigeria.

What happened in France was terrible, but worth remembering that terrible terrible stuff is occuring in Nigeria also. Using a 10 year old as a (innocent) suicide bomber is something no decent human being should be part of.

When I read stories like this, I wish there was a heaven and hell, so that those responsible can spend eternity in the latter.
