Shias In Potiskum Yobe State Hit By 'Suicide Attack', Almost 20 Dead by msmon(op): 2:17pm On Nov 03, 2014*

A suicide bomber has blown himself up at a
Shia religious ceremony in north-east Nigeria,
killing about 20 people, eyewitnesses have
told the BBC.

The bomber joined the ceremony in Potiskum town
and blew himself up, the witnesses said.
No group has said it carried out the attack, but
suspicion is bound to fall on militant Sunni Islamist
group Boko Haram.
It denounces Shias, a small minority in Nigeria, as
non-Muslims.
Witnesses said the bomb exploded as the crowd was
marking Ashura, a solemn day when Shias mourn the
martyrdom of Hussein, a grandson of the Prophet
Muhammad, in 680 AD at Karbala in modern-day
Iraq.

Boko Haram has waged an insurgency in Nigeria
since 2009.

It has repeatedly targeted Christians and rival
Muslim groups.

In July, it was blamed for bombing an open-air
mosque in Potiskum, killing four people.
