Unless she was "brain washed" to do such a thing, I think it's more likely that the bomb was remotely detonated, maybe by the taxi driver. Ten year olds don't have political grievances or agendas. In any case, this was a murder, not a suicide.

As we've seen in photos yesterday or young boys in ISIS, I'd feel comfortable in the brain wash theory. Sad life of a girl with it not yet really started. Where is her mother? Assuming she was 10-12 years old.

I don't think this girl conciously decided to blow herslef up either. Remote detonation or obfuscation on the part of the Boko Haram animals who strapped the explosives to this child are the more likely scenarios.

Between ISIS and Boko Haram, I can't decide which group is more in desperate need of being killed to the man and wiped from the face of the earth, stem and root.

Animals don't behave like this scum LFR.

Other than that I agree totally.

Boko Haram is not big on hgh.tech, and brainwashing children is standard procedure for jihadist groups. Hamas in Gaza is doing the same thing. There is no need to concoct complicated storied, Boko Haram told the child to pull the trigger to go to heaven, and she did.

People that put vests on children and make them walk to their deaths are the lowest of the low and don't deserve to be treated like human beings.

The international community needs to wake up and open their eyes to the horrors being committed by these religious fanatics. But, that as President Obama said, this has nothing to do with religion. It's all about the perversion of the religion of peace.

In the minds of the far left those crimes were committed by someone else. That is why the international community will never declare all out war against these religious fanatics.

What we need to do as is to send drones, warplanes and lots and lots of bombs to stop these animals! The West needs to help these African nation fight against these religious fanatics. Because if we kill them there we wont have to worry about killing them here.

These crimes against humanity need to be plastered throughout every news outlet 24/7, but sadly this crime and those like it will just be a footnote for the media, come tomorrow it will be forgotten..

Without addressing the ideology that drives them? What exactly is that supposed to achieve?? Look at the smoldering ruins of your embassy in Tripolis and the mess all over the Middle East, look at 9/11, 7/7, Madrid. Paris, Amsterdam, the Boston Bomber, Fort Hood, etc etc and tell us again that technofixes help one iota.

Is this a tragedy? Undeniably.

Is it inhumane? No more so than the hundreds of thousands of girls (some younger than 10) who are prostituted in Nigeria on a daily basis, but you don't see them making headlines.

Should we do something about it? Yes. Trade with Nigeria, establish legitimate businesses paying real wages, bring them into the economic mainstream and through this trade and business give the government enough money to establish a proper police force and anti-terrorism unit.

The U.S.A. flying in, killing some terrorists and in the process killing a lot more innocent civilians and devastating what little infrastructure and business they have will just make things 1000 times worse. The problem here is money, and the solution is money and business.

The simple problem is that right now the Nigerian government has neither the money nor the political will to deal with terrorism. More business = more money = more politicians money that they want to protect = end of terrorism in the region. It is simple self-interest.

Trade with Nigeria, establish legitimate businesses paying real wages, bring them into the economic mainstream and through this trade and business give the government enough money to establish a proper police force and anti-terrorism unit.

The problem is that there are few businesses that are willing to take the risk of investing in what is in danger of becoming a civil war zone.
