Bomb attack kills six in northern Nigeria
[Iran Press TV] At least six people have been killed in a bombing attack blamed on Takfiri
...an adherent of takfir wal hijra, an offshoot of Salafism that regards everybody who doesn't agree with them as apostates who must be killed...
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...
gunnies at a filling station in Nigeria's northern city of Kano.

The kaboom, which caused a great fire and set cars ablaze, took place at about 7:30 p.m. (1830 GMT) at the Nagarshiku petrol station in the Hotoro area of Kano on Friday.

"A man driving a Toyota Sienna drove into the filling station as if he was going to buy fuel," said Kano state police commissioner Adenrele Shinaba, adding, "The vehicle went kaboom! causing six deaths, including three coppers."

Five people also sustained injuries in the kaboom, according to the Nigerian police official.

Shinaba further noted that "the terrorists" were behind the attack, referring to the Boko Haram hard boys.

A resident in Hotoro said firefighters struggled to extinguish the flames, adding, "I don't think there is any survivor inside the filling station."

The recent blast comes amid the deteriorating security condition in northern Nigeria, where the Boko Haram gunnies are relentlessly committing crimes against civilians and government forces.
