UN chief slams Boko Haram for attacks

UN Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon strongly condemned on Tuesday Boko Haram attacks that deliberately targeted Christian and Muslim worshipers during the Muslim holy month of Ramadan in northeastern Nigeria.

More than 100 people died in the latest wave of Boko Haram attacks on three towns in Borno state since the end of last month, including an explosion triggered by a woman suicide bomber that killed as many as 40 people.

"I saw three truckloads of body parts taken away by the police," said Aisha Mohammed, who was in the corridor at the government headquarters where the explosion occurred on Tuesday morning.
