13-year-old Nigerian girl refuses to bow to dictates of Boko Haram

#bokoharam #suicidebomber A 13-year-old Nigerian girl has refused to wear a suicide vest and bow to the dictates of Boko Haram. Her father had given her to the terror group but, even though she was forced to wear the belt, she did not detonate the device.
The girl has revealed that she was made to wear a bomb belt and taken to a market in Nigeria by the Boko Haram extremists but she refused to detonate the device. She told her captors that she had told her captors that she had no intention to be a suicide bomber.
It seems she had allowed them to strap the bomb on her because they threatened to bury her alive if she did not. After strapping her with the bomb, she was taken to a market in Kano, Nigeria's second largest city in the north, along with two other girls, who detonated the bombs.
As a result of the explosions, four people were killed on 10 December and Zahara'u, the girl, said that she was too scared to detonate the bomb when she saw the aftermath of what her counterparts had done. The girl was injured in the blasts and she managed to make her way to a hospital where police arrested her as she was undergoing treatment. The Boko Haram militant group has been increasingly using female suicide bombers.

57 persons killed in Wagah Border suicide blast

It has been reported by Pakistani police spokeswoman Nabeela Ghazanfar that the latest death toll in the suicide blast at the Wagah order is 57 - the bomber had detonated explosives in a car park 500 metres (yards) from the border gates and parade ground even as hundreds of spectators were returning from the ceremony. Apparently, a suicide vest had been discovered in a nearby field fueling speculation that there could have been a second bomber.
The Tehreek-e-Taliban Pakistan Jamaat-ul-Ahrar (TTP-JA), a splinter group of the Pakistani Taliban, has claimed responsibility of the deadly suicide attack in which at least 57 people were killed and over 110 were injured. The TTP-Ja has directly threatened Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi.
In a twitter the TTP-JA has threatened through an open message to both governments across the border indicating that if there can be an attack on one side, there can be another on the other side.
Initially, there were conflicting versions of the tragic incident. The Pakistani and Indian agents are arch-rivals and do not share intelligence. From their accounts, it is not clear as to what the true intention of the bomber were. One line of thinking appears to be that the intention was to lead to more number of casualties on the Indian side of the border and, thereby, stir up tensions between the nuclear-armed nations.
It seems both the Indian and Pakistani intelligence agencies had drawn up plans for an imminent strike on their Wagah land border before the suicide blast and increased level of security prevented what could possibly have been a more devastating attack.
Pakistani police are reported to have revealed that they had recovered a "huge" cache of weapons and explosives near the border, where thousands of people from both the sides gather at dusk every day to watch a flamboyant ritual parade by their security forces.
