Kano - Police in northeast Nigeria on Wednesday said they were hunting the mob who beat a woman to death and burnt her body after suspecting that she was a suicide bomber.
The woman, identified by her mother as 33-year-old Thabita Haruna, was killed on Sunday in Bauchi after she allegedly refused to undergo a security screening at a city market.
Boko Haram has increasingly used women and young girls as human bombs against so-called "soft targets" such as crowded bus stations and markets.
