Boko Haram bombs Maiduguri again, kills 2

A bomb explosion targeting soldiers killed at least two people on Friday in the northeastern Nigerian city of Maiduguri while houses and shops nearby were burnt, the military said.
The two dead were suspected to be the bombers,according to a statement from Lieutenant Colonel Sagir Musa, though independent confirmation
was not immediately available and the military's information is often unreliable."No civilian was killed or wounded," the statement said of the incident in the Gambaru market area, adding that a military vehicle was
damaged and a soldier was wounded.
Musa also said shops and houses in the area caught fire due to the effects of the blast, but this also could not be independently confirmed. It was
also not clear how many houses and shops were burnt.
