Nigeria suicide blasts

THREE suicide bombers, including a child, struck Nigeria’s northeastern University of Maiduguri at dawn yesterday, killing a university professor and another child, witnesses and police said. The bombers also died.

One blast ripped through the mosque where professors were saying dawn prayers and at least one is among victims, police and rescue officials said. The second explosion occurred when police patrolling the back of the university shot a 12-year-old girl strapped with a suicide vest, setting off the explosives.
