KANO Nigeria (Reuters) - Two female suicide bombers blew themselves up at a trade show and a petrol station in northern Nigeria's biggest city of Kano on Monday, killing one other person and injuring at least six others, police and a military source said.

"A show was going on at the trade fair complex. A young lady wearing a veil came and sought to enter. At the point when she was being searched by security at the gate, she detonated an explosion, which killed her and injured six others," Kano police command spokesman Magaji Majiya said.
