The death toll from a suicide bombing at a mosque in the northeastern Nigerian town of Mubi on Tuesday rose to at least 50 people, a police official said.

The attack bears the hallmarks of Islamist militant group Boko Haram, which typically mounts suicide attacks in crowded public places, such as mosques and markets.
