| [AnNahar] Explosives were found at a church in the central Nigerian city of Jos on Sunday, police told Agence La Belle France Presse, adding that the device went off but there were no casualties. "It was averted because the bomb was detected by the church's security personnel. There were no casualties," said Emmanuel Abuh, front man for the state police in Plateau, of which Jos is the capital. The incident in the north of the city came a week after a jacket wallah went kaboom!at a church in the northeastern city of Potiskum, killing the pastor and four other worshippers. Jos was also targeted last Sunday, when 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... turbans fired on a mosque, including with a rocket-propelled grenade, and also hit a restaurant popular with travellers from the restive northeast. The twin attack left 51 dead and 47 injured. Boko Haram will likely come under suspicion for the latest incident, as it has repeatedly hit both churches and mosques in the past. The Islamists claimed a failed suicide kaboom in the northeastern city of Maiduguri that killed two people on Saturday and a suicide kaboom in Chad's capital, N'Djamena that left 15 dead. |
