They don't seem to stop!

Gunmen
suspected to be
members of
Islamist Boko
Haram sect late
Wednesday
launched
simultaneous
attacks on two
police posts in
the northern city
of Gombe killing a
number of
people, residents
said.
The attackers,
who came
around 8.30 pm
(1930 GMT),
threw explosives
at a police post in
central Gombe
and opened fire
on the policemen,
a resident said.
An unspecified
number of people
were killed in the
attack, Ibrahim
Aliyu told AFP.
“They threw
explosives and
opened fire on
the police post in
central Gombe.
Some of the
policemn were
inside while
others were
outside. The
explosions were
followed by
gunfire. There
was a shootout
between the
gunmen and
policemen which
lasted till 10 pm
(2100 GMT),”
Aliyu said.
“From a distance,
I could see
lifeless bodies
being loaded into
police
ambulances,” he
said, without
being able to give
a precise death
toll because it
was dark.
In the second
attack, a
resident in
Bagadaza district
on the outskirts
of Gombe, Auwal
Nasiru, said from
his house he
heard a loud
explosion coming
from a nearby
police post.
“There were a
lot of gunshots
lasting for more
than an hour. I
cannot say if
anybody was
hurt or killed in
the attack,” he
said.
There is no
official
confirmation of
the attacks.
Suspected Boko
Haram gunmen
had in late
February
launched
coordinated gun
attacks on
Gombe prison and
a nearby police
station during
which 14 people,
including
policemen, were
killed.
The police
station was
burnt down in
the attack.
