Nigeria: Female jihad suicide bomber murders 7 at crowded market

Feb 12, 2015 10:00 pm By Robert Spencer

Nigeria hijabiThis very well could be one of the girls Boko Haram so famously abducted last year — one that was found wanting, or considered to be recalcitrant.

“Female suicide bomber kills 7 at crowded Nigeria market,” by Aminu Abubakar, CNN, February 12, 2015 (thanks to Bill):

Kano, Nigeria (CNN)A female suicide bomber attacked a crowded market in northeastern Nigeria’s Borno state on Thursday, killing seven people and seriously injuring 20 others, residents and a hospital source said.

The bomber, wearing a hijab, detonated her suicide vest in the midst of shoppers at a weekly market in the town of Biu around 3 p.m. at the peak of business, witnesses said.

“We have evacuated eight bodies, including that of the bomber, to the hospital along with 20 people injured in the attack,” Bukar Maina, a trader at the market, said.

A nurse at the Biu General Hospital confirmed the number of dead.

No claim of responsibility was immediately made, but the Islamist militant group Boko Haram has terrorized northern Nigeria regularly since 2009, attacking police, schools, churches and civilians, as well as bombing government buildings.

The Islamist group has said its aim is to impose a stricter form of Sharia, or Islamic law, across Nigeria, which is split between a majority Muslim north and a mostly Christian south….

Thursday’s blast targeted the provision goods section of the market, which attracts shoppers from the town and neighboring villages.

“I was in my shop, attendi‎ng to customers, when I heard a loud explosion that made me duck under the table,” said Abacha Kachalla, another trader.

    Something about that haunting look on her face says, ‘Help me, I really don’t want to do this’. No doubt, her captors forced her into killing her own people. It happens all the time in muslim controlled regimes. Children are expendable and merely a means to achieve dominance and power! They can’t fight back so they simply do what they are told under threat of some kind of heinous torture! THAT’S WHAT ISLAM IS ALL ABOUT – SUBMIT OR BE KILLED!!!

      Do you remember (Iraq-Iran war) those children with their tiny red plastic keys (ordered from Taiwan) who were sent into the minefields to clear them of landmines for the army vehicles? How many of their own children did they kill?

    The “religion of peace” using kids to do their “Jihad”.

    Why?

    Because they’re cowards. Because they want to exploit by intimidation & fear…… children.

    “You will know them by their fruits.”

    Some of those poor girls will be brainwashed for sure. Others will be being controlled by handlers, who can remotely detonate the suicide vest is the girl hesitates. This happened a few weeks ago when a first bomber ignited, a second girl turned back, obviously lost her nerve, she exploded as she retreated in all likelihood by a watching handler.

    “Stricter” than what, and how?

    Nigeria: Female jihad suicide bomber murders 7 at crowded market

    …………………

    This certainly could be the case—if the bomb she wore was detonated remotely by her Jihadist handler.

    Or she could have been brainwashed over these months of rape and indoctrination, and have become a true believer and detonated it herself.

    As horrifying as the first possibility is, the second *is worse*.

    In either case, it makes a sick mockery of #BringBackOurGirls.
