It follows suicide attacks by women jihadis in Nigeria’s second city of Kano yesterday that left at least four people dead.

Boko Haram’s being blamed for the twin bomb blasts at a crowded marketplace in Jos, near the scene of a major bombing in May.

Boko Haram’s seeking to establish a caliphate in north eastern Nigeria, and it’s been particularly active in Jos that has a mixed population of Muslims and Christians.

The terrorist have attacked both churches and mosques there.

The group’s killed more than 2 000 people this year.

Police in Kano say they’ve arrested a 13-year-old girl wearing a suicide belt.

The terror attack designed to target the maximum number of victims has all the hallmarks of Boko Haram that operated in the city before.

The car bombs were detained minutes apart in a marketplace crowded with traders and their customers and outside a hospital.

Body parts were strewn over the areas and authorities fear more dead may be buried under the rubble.

Boko Haram’s struck in Jos before, attacking churches in a strategy designed to set Muslims against Christians.

President Goodluck Jonathan’s condemned the attack.

But his security forces appear unable to curb the terrorist still holding nearly 300 teenage girls abducted from their school five weeks ago.
