Among the targets was the University of Maiduguri, where one civilian died. Attacks at two residential buildings in the Zannari community later killed eight others, AP reported. Several other young women detonated their explosives without killing other people. --SPA 20:08 LOCAL TIME 17:08 GMT www.spa.gov.sa/w436494
