Boko Haram kills 60 in IDP camp

More than 60 people were killed by a twin
suicide bomb attack at a camp in Dikwa
town, northern Nigeria for people displaced
by an insurgency of the jihadist Boko Haram
group, a military and emergency official said
on Wednesday. The attack took place some
85 km (50 miles) outside the capital of
Borno state, center of the seven-year
insurgency, they said. It took place on
Tuesday, but a breakdown in the telephone
system had prevented the information being
made public earlier, reports Reuters. The
attackers reportedly detonated their
explosives while the refugees were queuing
to collect food rations.
