Blast kills 11 in Nigerian capital
2011-01-01
[Iran Press TV] A bombing in the Nigerian capital Abuja has killed at least 11 people and injured several more at a market inside a military barracks.
Couldn't possibly have anything to do with any arms and ammunition shipped in from Iran...
Police say the blast occurred at the Sani Abacha barracks,
I used to get emails from his kids. I wonder if they ever got all that money out of the country?
where people had gathered to celebrate New Year's Eve on Friday night. Local journalists say injured people are being carried away from the scene.

"There was a kaboom inside the Mammy market.
"I'd walk a million miles
For one of her smiles..."

The bomb went kaboom! where people were eating and drinking," the civil defense corps chief for the capital, Rabi Saidu, told news hounds.

Nigeria's military chief, Air Marshal Oluseyi Petirin, said, "It's unfortunate that some people planted a bomb where people were relaxing."
Actually, I think that's the definition of 'unfortunate.'
The cause of the kaboom is not yet known, and no more details are available.
