ABUJA, Nov. 18 (Xinhua) -- Twin suicide blasts in Nigeria's northeast region early Saturday killed five, including an infant and three of the bombers, local police said.
The first suicide blast was executed by two female suicide bombers suspected to be members of the Boko Haram terror group in Alakaramtii village located on the outskirts of Jere in the northern Borno State, according to Victor Isuku, a spokesman for the police.
Isuku said the second blast went off a few minutes later killing three people.
Four people were wounded in the twin blasts, he added.
Boko Haram has been blamed for the death of more than 20,000 people and displacement of 2.3 million others in Nigeria since 2009.
