Abuja \u2014 Suspected Islamic fundamentalist sect, Boko Haram, again carried out another bomb attack on some beer gardens in Maiduguri, Borno State Sunday leading to the death of 25 persons and wounding 12 others.<\/p>\n

According to AFP reports, the fundamentalists carried out three bomb attacks on the beer gardens in the town.<\/p>\n

The state Police Command blamed the attack on the sect, which, 11 days ago, launched a bomb attack on Louis Edet House, the headquarters of the Nigeria Police Force, Abuja.<\/p>\n

The attack claimed some four lives and burnt over 73 vehicles parked at the car park of the Force Headquarters.<\/p>\n

The police authorities are still investigating the 16\/6 attack before last night’s attack. The group had indeed threatened to increase the spate and frequency of its attacks across the country.<\/p>\n

According to sources close to the scene of the blasts, the bombs were thrown by two men riding on the back of motorcycles, at the beer gardens, which are popular nightspots in the city.<\/p>\n

About a week before the attack on the Police Headquarters, some four persons were also killed by a similar attack in a drinking spot, in the same Maiduguri city.<\/p>\n

Boko Haram, whose name in the local Hausa language means “Western education is sacrilege,” has claimed responsibility for a series of attacks in North-east Nigeria.<\/p>\n

Most attacks have occurred in the Boko Haram stronghold of Maiduguri, the Borno State capital.<\/p>\n
