[Al Ahram] Authorities say three people have been killed in two separate kabooms on informal beer gardens in Nigeria amid attacks by a radical Islamist sect. Taraba State police front man Amos Olaoye said Friday an bomb went off at a drinking spot in a busy neighborhood in the central city of Jalingo at about 8 p.m. Thursday, killing two. On Friday night, an emergency management official says another bomb went kaboom!, killing a woman and wounding her children. Authorities say the attacks are under investigation, declining to comment further. |
