The bombers have struck yet again.  This time it is in Northeastern Nigeria where members of the dreaded terror group, Boko Haram, have continued their campaign of hate and destruction.

At least 50 people are feared dead after a suicide bombing at a mosque in Adamawa state, police have said. The teenage bomber detonated the device early on Tuesday as people were arriving for morning prayers.

Police spokesman Othman Abubakar said the bomber detonated his explosives while mingling among the worshippers.  There was no immediate claim of responsibility.  However, suspicion immediately fell on Boko Haram.

The Islamic extremist group is based in neighbouring Borno state and has been blamed for scores of similar attacks.
