Nigeria: 'Girl bomber' kills 19 people in Maiduguri marketWhilst everyone is - correctly - outraged by the attacks in Paris, isn't it odd how this barely stays on the front page of BBC News?At least 19 people have been killed and several injured by a bomb strapped to a girl reported to be aged about 10 in north-eastern Nigeria, police say.The bomb exploded in a market in the city of Maiduguri, in Borno state.
"The explosive devices were wrapped around her body," a police source told Reuters.
No group has said it carried out the attack. The market is reported to have been targeted twice in a week by female bombers late last year.
Correspondents say that all the signs point to the militant Islamist Boko Haram group.
Attacks like this are, admittedly, far more regular in this part of the world - BUT, this was a 10-year-old girl.
The West needs to stop ignoring this. It will come back to haunt us.
