Nigeria suicide bomb attack on mosque; 50 killed

Nigeria Nov 22: On Tuesday, atleast 50 people were killed and many injured in a suicide bomb attack on mosque in northeastern Nigeria.

This was the biggest mass killing by IS group Boko haram this year. Abubakar Othman, a police spokesman in Adamawa state, said the death toll from the attack in the town of Mubi is 50 people, but "there could be more as those seriously injured could add to the figure".

Mubi is in Adamawa state where Boko Haram militants held territory in 2014, although the insurgents were pushed out of those areas by troops in early 2015.
