Suicide attacks in northern Nigeria killed at least 17 people on the same day Islamist group Boko Haram released a new video reaffirming its allegiance to Islamic State.
The bombings in Damaturu, the capital of Yobe state, also injured 11 people, state governor Ibrahim Gaidam said in a statement e-mailed by his office. Damaturu residents said two suicide bombers, one disguised as a Muslim cleric, detonated explosives along the Gashua road just after 8 a.m. Wednesday.
