Teenager seized for Boko Haram attack tells how she tore off suicide vest and fled

[muriel_volestrangler]

Strapped with a suicide bomb vest and sent by the extremist Boko Haram group to kill as many people as possible, the teenage girl tore off the explosives and fled as soon as she was out of sight of her handlers.

Her two companions, however, completed their grisly mission and walked into a crowd of hundreds at Dikwa refugee camp in north-east Nigeria and blew themselves up, killing 58 people.
...
“She confessed to our security operatives that she was worried if she went ahead and carried out the attack that she might kill her own father, who she knew was in the camp,” he said on Thursday.

The girl tried to persuade her companions to abandon the mission, he said, “but she said she could not convince the two others to change their minds”.
