| [BBC] A kaboom in the central Nigerian city of Jos has killed at least three people in a suicide kaboom, police say. Police said the blast happened near an open-air TV viewing centre where people were watching the Champions League football final. No group has said it carried out the attack. However it comes days after a twin car kaboom blamed on 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... forces of Evil killed 118 people in Jos. A front man for Plateau state governor Jonah Jang said the latest blast happened on Bauchi Road at about 21:30 local time (20:30 GMT). Police commissioner Chris Olakpe told AFP news agency that the bomber's improvised bomb detonated prematurely. "He died in the wake of the heinous crime. It went kaboom!before the viewing centre because of pressure from local youths and the alertness of the local people," he added. Last month suspected Boko Haram gunnies stormed a venue in Potiskum, north-east Yobe state, and rubbed out two people watching the two Champions League quarter-final matches. Boko Haram leader Abubakar Shekau has previously described football and music as a Western ploy to distract Moslems from their religion. |
