| Five Killed In Explosion In Northern Nigeria |
| 2014-05-19 |
| [Xinhua] An kaboom in a Christian-dominated area in Nigeria's northern city of Kano killed at least five people and injured four others on Sunday night, the police said. A car went kaboom!on a busy road in Sabon-Gari area of Kano, capital city of the Kano state, at about 9:30 p.m. (2030 GMT) when the area was usually crowded with street hawkers and traders, state police front man Musa Majiya told Xinhua by phone. Bomb disposal experts had been dispatched to the scene, said the front man. Although it was thought to be a boom-mobileing, no one or organization has grabbed credit. The same area witnessed two major bombings last year -- one at a bus terminus and another at a fun spot, killing more than 100 people in total. The area, being densely populated by southern Christians, is a popular nightlife district in the most cosmopolitan city in the Muslim-majority north. Nigeria faces the insurgency of Boko Haram ... not to be confused with Procol Harum, Harum Scarum, possibly to be confused with Helter Skelter. The Nigerian version of al-Qaeda and the Taliban rolled together and flavored with a smigeon of distinctly Subsaharan ignorance and brutality... , which has grabbed credit for many previous bombings in the West African country. |
