At least seven people
have been killed after three suicide bombers attacked a residential area in
Nigeria's north-eastern city of Maiduguri last night, the army said.
"The
explosions occurred at three-minute intervals and seven people were confirmed
dead, including the three suicide terrorists," army spokesman Colonel Sani
Usman told the BBC Hausa service.
He
added that 11 others sustained "various degrees of injuries".
No
group has said it carried out the attack but the city is frequently attacked by
militant Islamist group Boko Haram.
More than 100 people have
been killed in similar blasts in the city in the past four weeks.
