MAIDUGURI, Nigeria, Shawwal 15, 1436, July 31, 2015, SPA -- A woman suicide bomber killed many people at a crowded market early Friday in a blast that thundered across the northeastern Nigerian city of Maiduguri, AP cited witnesses as saying. Trader Bukar Shettima said the explosion blamed on Boko Haram extremists lifted him off his feet and threw him to the ground. "Thank God I was not too close," he said. "But I saw nauseating corpses and battered bodies of humans littering the ground." There was no exact toll from the carnage at Gamboru wholesale vegetable market as rescuers were still recovering bodies. --SPA 11:45 LOCAL TIME 08:45 GMT www.spa.gov.sa/w
