BAUCHI, Nigeria (AP) — A crowd beat to death a teenage girl accused of planning to be a suicide bomber and then set her body ablaze Sunday, according to police and witnesses at a northeastern Nigerian market.

A second suspect, also a teenage girl, was arrested at Muda Lawal, the biggest market in Bauchi city.

A spate of suicide bombings has been blamed on Nigeria’s home-grown Boko Haram Islamic extremist group, which wants to enforce strict Islamic law across Nigeria. The group has threatened to disrupt Nigeria’s March 28 presidential and legislative elections, saying democracy is a corrupt Western concept.

Oh man...

1. "Accused of..."

Kill the witch!

2. Oh yea

If they find evidence of a bomb, not even God would be able to save her. Its sad but the people of that region have been terrorized for so long by this group and this kind of killing is mainly done to send a message to potential suicide bombers. If someone tries to trick you into wearing something with a bunch of wires, dont do it, cos your fate will be far worse than quick death from a bomb if you are caught.

5. I have no doubt that some of the people involved had family members who were killed by those

terrorist acts.

4. A complicated situation - refused to be searched, had 2 bottles 'strapped' to her

but she didn't detonate anything, and there's no explanation of what was in the bottles. Obviously beating her to death is a crime, but there was reasonable suspicion she was a bomber at the time. She should of course have had the bottles taken off her and been arrested. If the bottles were harmless, then there wouldn't have been any harm done.

3. "...democracy is a corrupt Western concept."

Republicans believe that too.

They would like to return to the idea of a ruling class.

6. Ironically

the "ruling class" would do a better job than the current republicans.
