Boko Haram's changing tactics

Former US ambassador to Nigeria Robin Sanders discusses the armed group's new tactics following deadly suicide bombings.

Boko Haram's attacks in northern Nigeria have killed at least 20,000 people and displaced 2.5 million

A young female suicide bomber was in military custody on Thursday in Nigeria after she aborted a plan to detonate explosives when two other girls blew themselves up and killed more than 70 people.
The double suicide attack - which also wounded nearly 80 others - targeted a camp for internally displaced persons on Tuesday in northeast Nigeria.
The detained girl told authorities she thought her parents might be in the camp and decided against the attack.
The bombings occurred in the town of Dikwa, some 80km northeast of Maiduguri, the birthplace of the armed Boko Haram group, which is fighting to create an Islamic state in the country's northeast.
Al Jazeera spoke with former US ambassador to Nigeria Robin Sanders about Boko Haram's changing strategy as Nigeria's military pushes the group out of areas it once controlled.

 I think what we're seeing is a difference in tactics. Boko Haram learns very quickly. They've moved a little bit from asymmetrical warfare, which the government was actually successfully trying to hinder in December, early January, to these guerrilla attacks that you see happening now - very similar in style to what Al Shabab is doing in East Africa.
So you do see this transition taking place and I think that the Nigerian army is going to have to adapt.
One other thing to add to the list of attacks is that there was also an attack in Zamfara, which is on the other side of the country. And it worries me that, possibly, Boko Haram is looking at doing two-front attacks in Nigeria - one in the west and one in the east
