迈杜古里，尼日利亚—— 警方周二表示，周一晚间针对尼日利亚东北部迈杜古里市的疑似自杀式爆炸袭击已造成至少23人死亡，超过100人受伤。这是这座饱受冲突蹂躏的城市近期历史上最致命的袭击之一。
居民和紧急服务部门早些时候告诉美联社，博尔诺州首府迈杜古里的拥挤场所发生了三起爆炸，包括一个主要市场和迈杜古里大学教学医院入口处。
“遗憾的是，共有23人死亡，另有108人不同程度受伤，”博尔诺州警方发言人纳胡姆·肯尼斯·达索在一份声明中说，该声明将袭击归咎于疑似自杀式袭击者。
尚未有任何组织宣称对袭击负责，但人们迅速怀疑是博科圣地（Boko Haram）激进组织所为。该组织2009年在尼日利亚东北部发动叛乱，以推行其对伊斯兰教法的激进解读。
博科圣地此后势力不断壮大，拥有数千名武装分子，其中包括与“伊斯兰国”结盟的西非派系。
迈杜古里市曾是致命暴力的中心，但近年来经历了相对和平的时期，尽管农村地区经常遭受极端分子的袭击。
居民们描述了爆炸后的混乱场面。
“这次袭击是迈杜古里多年来最致命的袭击之一，”协助安全部队打击极端分子的志愿组织成员穆罕默德·哈桑说。“我们急需血液，”袭击发生数小时后他这样描述当时的情况。
极端分子针对尼日利亚军事基地的袭击有所加剧，造成数名高级军官和士兵死亡，并夺走了基地的武器弹药库存。
At least 23 dead, more than 100 wounded in suspected suicide bombings in Nigeria, police say

Maiduguri, Nigeria — At least 23 people were killed and more than 100 wounded in suspected suicide bombings Monday night that targeted Maiduguri city in northeastern Nigeria, police said Tuesday. It was one of the deadliest attacks in the conflict-battered city in recent history.
Residents and emergency services earlier told The Associated Press that three explosions were reported in crowded places in Maiduguri, the capital of Borno state, including in a major market and at the entrance of the University of Maiduguri Teaching Hospital.
“Regrettably, a total of 23 persons lost their lives, while 108 others sustained varying degrees of injuries,” Borno police spokesperson Nahum Kenneth Daso said in a statement that blamed the attacks on suspected suicide bombers.

No group has claimed responsibility for the attacks, but suspicion quickly fell on the Boko Haram jihadi group, which in 2009 launched an insurgency in northeastern Nigeria to enforce their radical interpretation of Shariah.
Boko Haram has since become stronger, with thousands of fighters and different factions, including the ISIS-allied faction in West Africa.
Maiduguri city had been at the heart of the deadly violence but has in recent years experienced relative peace even as the countryside is often battered by extremists.
Residents recounted the chaos that followed the explosions.
“This attack’s been one of the deadliest in Maiduguri in years,” said Mohammed Hassan, a member of a volunteer group assisting security forces in fighting extremists. “We’re in dire need of blood,” he said of the situation hours after the attack.
The extremists have intensified their attacks against Nigerian military bases, killing several senior officers and soldiers and stripping the bases of stocks of weaponry and ammunition.
