MAIDUGURI, Nigeria (Reuters) - Suspected Islamist militants detonated a bomb in a crowded marketplace in north-eastern Nigeria killing at least 20 people, witnesses said on Sunday.
Nigerian security officials said the attack late on Saturday in the town of Bama in Borno state bore the hallmarks of an attack by the al Qaeda-linked militant group Boko Haram, which is fighting to carve an Islamic state out of northeast Nigeria.
