MORE THAN 45 DEAD IN NIGERIA BOMBINGS: HEALTH OFFICIAL, WITNESSES

More than 45 people died Tuesday in twin bombings in the northeast Nigerian city of Maiduguri, a local health worker and witnesses told AFP.

Health worker Dogara Shehu said he counted more than "45 people killed, some of them completely decapitated" in an account backed up by a witness, who declined to give his name.

A spokesman for Nigeria's National Emergency Management Agency (NEMA) confirmed that "many people have been killed" but did not have an official death toll.

TWO FEMALE SUICIDE BOMBERS BEHIND NIGERIA ATTACK: SECURITY SOURCE

Two female suicide bombers carried out the attacks in northeast Nigeria's Maiduguri city that killed more than 45 people on Tuesday, a senior security source told AFP.

"What we have is a case of suicide bombings involving two females.... The first bomber stood by a rickshaw that was loaded with goods," said the source based in Maiduguri, who requested anonymity.

"She blew up, so people thought the bomb was concealed in the rickshaw.... About 10 minutes later another woman who looked about 19 and carrying what looked like a baby... detonated the bomb on her back," he said.
