Photos from bomb attack in Kano state poly yesterday

 I have gotten pictures from the bombing carried out by a female suicide bomber yesterday at the Kano state polytechnic. A bomb also went off at the Aminu kano school of islamic and legal studies.

At about 2.30pm local time (1330 GMT) on Wednesday, an assailant blew herself up at a noticeboard on the campus of the Kano Polytechnic College, where students had crowded round to check their assignments for a mandatory youth civil service programme.The explosion came from within the crush of students and left blood spattered on the ground, as soldiers and police scrambled to secure the area.

A government spokesman, Mike Omeri, said six people had died and six were injured and confirmed that a female, whose age was not immediately known, was responsible.
