The remnants of what was a suicide bomb attack on a cellphone market in Azare, Nigeria.
A female suicide bomber blew herself up here on Sunday killing at least a dozen people.

(SOUNDBITE) (English) LLIYASU ABUBAKAR, EYEWITNESS, SAYING:
"Some men asked the man what did he drop, he then answered that a woman over there gave him something to drop, it was in that process that the bomb exploded."
No single group has claimed responsibility for the attack, but Boko Haram has waged a bloody fight to establish an Islamic Northern Nigeria.
