No one immediatley claimed the bombing of two military bases, though suspocions fell on Lslamist sect know as Boko Haram.

Boko Haram lauched a bomb attack because they where terrisist and wanted to weaken Nigeria's goverment even more by throughing bombs at the military and the goverment buildings.
= = = media type="custom" key="12524082" = = = = Opinon: = === My Opinon is that the Islamist sect should not have put explosive bombs to weaken Nigerias goverment and military because the men that work in the military are trying to protect Nigeria so nothing bad happens to the people, but if you try to hurt them then they cant help anyone. Also if you attack the military and kill them then Nigerias goverment is going to have to buy more which will weaken the govermtent even more then Nigeria will not be a very good place to be. === = Map: = = = = =
