4 killed in Nigeria 'triple bombing'

IANS  |  Abuja 

At least four people were killed in multiple suicide bomb attacks that rocked a camp of displaced persons and a residential neighbourhood in northeast Nigeria, the police said.

Residents said they heard three loud explosions -- two at the camp and one in the neighbourhood, both close to the Muna motor park in the city of Maiduguri, BBC reported.

Suspected suicide bombers linked to militant Islamist group Boko Haram were said to have carried out the blasts, but there was no confirmation.
