Nigerian blast kills 71, injures 120


(Vatican Radio) At least 71 people were killed on Monday and more than 120 were injured, when a bomb exploded at a bus station in the Nigerian capital of Abuja, during the busy morning rush hour.

President Goodluck Jonathan pointed the finger of suspicion at the Islamist group Boko Haram, although there was no immediate claim of responsibility.

Evangelical pastor Yunusa Nmadu, director of Christian Solidarity Worldwide, told Vatican Radio that this first attack on the federal capital in the past two years has left the people in a state of shock.
