Nigeria: At Least 14 Killed in Bomb Attacks

HeadlineOct 16, 2015

In Nigeria, at least 14 people have been killed in two suicide bomb attacks in the northeast Borno State. The attacks hit a mosque during prayer hour Thursday. This comes after bombings killed five people the day before. No one has taken responsibility for either attack, but authorities say they suspect the militant group Boko Haram. This week, President Obama announced the United States will deploy 300 troops to the neighboring country of Cameroon to fight Boko Haram.
