A suspected suicide bomb went off in an open-air recreational area at a military barracks in the city of Gombe in northeastern Nigeria on Wednesday, a security source and a local journalist at the scene told Reuters.
The journalist, David Hassan, said he believed there were fatalities but did not have details.
A source from within the barracks said the bomber arrived
at the Mami area of the compound, where soldiers go to eat and drink
after hours, on a three-wheel motorcycle.
The area is usually busy with people, especially on New
Year's Eve. There were no immediate claims of responsibility.
