Two suicide car bombers attacked the facilities of two mobile phone operators in Kano, killing themselves and maiming at least one person. The attack on the Airtel office, located opposite Malam Kato Square military cenotaph and overlooking Central Bank office in the state, occurred around 8:45am. Less than one hour after the first blast, another explosion went off at an MTN switch station opposite Northern Flour Mills along Maimalari Road in Bompai industrial area, about 500 metres from the state police command, killing only the bomber. Authorities did not speculate as to the identity or group affiliation of the perpetrators, though Boko Haram have demonstrated similar behaviour in the area. |
