Nigeria's Boko Haram conflict: Huge rise in child 'human bombs'

[muriel_volestrangler]

There has been a significant increase in the number of children used as human bombs by Boko Haram militants in north-east Nigeria, the United Nations says.

Unicef reports there have been 83 cases so far this year - four times as many as in the whole of last year.

55 were girls under the age of 15 and in one case the bomb was strapped to a baby being carried by a young girl.

Unicef says this tactic is an atrocity causing fear and suspicion of children released by the militants.

It's an ideology that holds all human life as worthless. It can't disappear from the earth fast enough.
