At least 16 dead in Maiduguri Bomb blast.

At least 16 people have been killed and several injured by a bomb attack in the north-eastern Nigerian city of Maiduguri, medics say.

Some reports say that the market explosion was triggered by a girl suicide bomber who may have been as young as 10 years old.
No group has so far claimed responsibility for Saturday's attack.
However correspondents say that all the signs point to the militant Islamist Boko Haram group.
The market is reported to have been targeted twice in a week by female bombers late last year.
Borno State police spokesman Gideon Jubrin said that the girl suicide bomber let off an improvised explosive device near the area of the market where chickens were sold.
