A civilian self-defense group says at least eight people are dead after female bombers attacked two displaced peoples\u2019 camps in northeastern Nigeria\u2019s main city.<\/p>\n
Spokesman Bello Danbatta tells The Associated Press that the attack started late Sunday night in Maiduguri and left another 15 people wounded.<\/p>\n
The Nigeria-based extremist group Boko Haram often targets the city with bombers and increasingly has been using female ones.<\/p>\n
Danbatta says one bomber sneaked into the Dalori camp and detonated, and two other attackers exploded on or near the camp\u2019s perimeter fence.<\/p>\n
Boko Haram\u2019s eight-year militancy has killed more than 20,000 people, spilled into neighboring countries and created one of the world\u2019s largest humanitarian crises.<\/p>\n
