Maiduguri (Nigeria) (AFP) - Two bomb blasts ripped through mosques in northeast Nigeria on Friday, killing at least 55 people and injuring more than 100, as Boko Haram fighters briefly seized a town in neighbouring Cameroon.

The attacks in Maiduguri, Yola and the Cameroonian town of Kerawa again underlined the persistent national and regional threat from the Islamist militants, despite military claims of gains.

Fears will be heightened particularly in Maiduguri, which has been hit six times this month, with a total of 76 people killed, according to an AFP tally.

Questions will also again be raised about how the militants are able to carry out such attacks on a regular basis, after similar attacks in the city last month claimed 117 lives.

1. Proving once again that the gravest threat posed by extremist Islam is to moderate Islam.

2. Also proves that Americans don't care much what goes on in Africa

Except for maybe a week when people held up "Bring Back Our Girls" signs on Twitter.

3. Isn't that the truth....seems like Americans are only interested in things and countries that make

them afraid.

But then again most probably think 'Africa' is a country.

A lot of folks blame the educational system, but I more blame the corporate media.
