| 2011-12-28 |
| Attackers threw a crude homemade bomb into an Arabic school in southern Nigeria's Delta state, injuring seven people. Six of the victims were children younger than nine. The attack around 10 p.m. on Tuesday happened two days after the Christmas Day bombings of churches and other targets by Boko Haram took around 32 lives. Police spokesman Charles Muka said, "Some men driving in a Camry car threw a low capacity explosive into a building where an Arabic class was taking place. Children aged between four and nine were taking a lesson. Six children were injured and one adult." He said police suspected a local vigilante group. |
