At least 15 people have been killed after two female suicide bombers, one said to be aged as young as 11, blew themselves up at a busy mobile phone market in north-east Nigeria, a day after more than 30 were killed in a bomb blast.
Two explosions ripped through the Farm Centre market in northern Nigeria’s biggest city, Kano, shortly after 4pm on Wednesday. One of the bombers was said to be aged just 11 and the other 18.
The Islamist terror group Boko Haram has previously used young girls as human bombs in its six-year insurgency in north-east Nigeria, which has left at least 17,000 dead and made more than 2.6 million homeless.

Militant Islamist group Boko Haram has claimed responsibility for a suicide bombing on a procession of Shi'ite Muslims that killed at least 21 people in northern Nigeria's Kano state, the SITE monitoring service reported on Saturday.
Boko Haram has been trying to establish an Islamist state adhering to strict Sharia law in northeast Nigeria since 2009. About 2.1 million people have been displaced and thousands have been killed during the six-year insurgency.
The group, which has pledged allegiance to Islamic State, gained control of large swathes of territory in 2014 before being pushed back by Nigerian troops and forces from neighboring countries.

money and in the past a heap of "western" funding that helps them to fund terrorism....... but that's another story...

Terrorism continues to rise, with over 32,000 people killed in terrorist attacks in 2014, the highest number recorded.
Despite being highly concentrated in five countries, terrorism is spreading, with more countries recording attacks and deaths.
Now in its third year, the Global Terrorism Index provides a detailed analysis of the changing trends in terrorism across 162 countries, over the last 15 years.
It investigates the patterns of terrorism by geographic activity, methods of attack, organisations involved and the national economic and political context.

information from the link in part Terrorist Indoctrination Turning People Into Killers
ANALYST COMMENTARY: This is a topic near and dear to my heart, the examination of how groups and networks change the moral and ethical values of an individual from a law abiding citizens to an extremist who believes that killing is justifiable.
The current western idea to fight the Islamist bent terrorists is through drone strikes, proxies who engage the enemy directly, and the urging of moderate Muslims to challenge the ideology.
As the article listed below from The Guardian points out in detail, the recruitment and indoctrination by the Daesh rivals the U.S. military recruiting capability.
The moderate Muslims sit on the side because they do not look at the terrorists as a part of their religion so the moderates do not have to engage those who are heretics.
The West, the U.S. in particular, will not engage the religious beliefs of the terrorists because of the paralyzing politically correct fear of agitating the innocent Muslims.
Upon successful recruitment the person makes their way to a camp or training area in which the terrorists actively turn their attention to the indoctrination phase.
During this phase it is important that the terrorists isolate the person from their previous social connections such as family, religious belief, language to include the adoption of a new name helping establish a new identity.
As the article points out this phase takes time with other terrorists dedicated to evaluating the changes of the new recruit. In this case, the religious component comes into play as extremist interpretations of the Quran is conducted under the guise of religious education.
While the new recruit is probably excited over the sense of belonging and adoption by the new group those who do not meet expectations can find themselves becoming hostages or cannon fodder.
After the recruit starts to show some traits of the new group the Quran is interpreted again to justify the murderous acts of decapitation, the use of the sword and the killings of innocents because it is for the greater good.
Once these moral and ethical barriers are broken, the threat network now have a full fledged terrorist who will do anything in the name of the terrorist ideology.
This process of becoming a terrorist is not one that can easily reversed as recidivism of former GITMO detainees rate above 30%.
These are hard core terrorists who have spent years out of the terrorist life but went back to take up violence in the name of the ideology.
Our understanding of the recruiting and indoctrination problem has to change as the terrorists are years ahead of us when it comes converting everyday people to killers in their belief system.

info from the link in part
Terrorism and terrorists can only exist in the world if they can convince others of their cause.
In most cases the cause to which they are committed is the complete domination of a nation and a people.
They convince others that their cause is just and right first by fear and coercion.
This fear is perpetrated by making the population believe, and in most cases rightfully so, that they will die if they do not convert and accept the cause.
But fear can only control a population so long. After a time, the people become tired of being afraid and start to fight back. The terrorists have recognized this and also indoctrinate the young into their cause.
They do this by methods similar to the recruitment of gang members in the United States.
They identify those youth who are troubled, weak or have poor family life.
They identify their needs and begin to provide for them.
At the same time they begin to speak with them and educate them according to the terrorist beliefs.
Because they have become the youth’s friends and provided for their needs the youth are more open to their teachings.
This is one of the many ways that Islamic radicals have used to brainwash the youth.
Islam also uses the family life, education, religion and political indoctrination to convert the youth to their beliefs, however radical they may seem to us.
Family life is an important tool of the indoctrination of the youth used by radicals.
They ensure that they use all facets of family life to assist in their cause.
If a family owns a television, they are bombarded daily with the message that the radicals preach.
For example, Palestinian children are now watching a look a-like Mickey Mouse on the television show called Tomorrows Pioneers.
The main character, Paffer, leads children into drills which teach them how to throw grenades and how to fire guns. (Islamic Indoctrination 2008) stated “...every opportunity to indoctrinate young viewers with teachings Islamic supremacy, hatred of Israel and the U.S., and support of “resistance”.

The children are continuously attacked with messages of terrorism throughout these kinds of shows. Kids are trained to want death as a desire for their nation and the will of Allah.
They are so exposed to death and to the desire to kill that it does not disturb them.
According to (Yoism n.d.) a young child crying stated, “But I march quickly towards my death…”It is as if it were daily living to them.
Being so innocent in mind and not knowing the truth behind it all, they easily fall into this manipulation.
Not only are the children affected, but the family to.
They follow beliefs which are preached by the church and the word of Allah which is to protect their nation.
Parents willingly send their children off to be suicide bombers and take part in these horrific acts.
One parent stated, “If I had twenty children, I’d send them all off to Israel to blow themselves up and kill some Israelis (Landau 2007).”
