Several Wounded As Emir Escapes Suicide Attack by AK481(m): 4:59pm On Aug 03, 2012 |
KANO (AFP) – A Muslim religious leader in Potiskum and Emir of Fika escaped a suicide attack on Friday, when the bomber was thwarted by local people before blowing himself up, residents said. Several people were wounded in the blast in the town of Potiskum, one witness said, as a police official said he was awaiting further details of the attack. “A man who looked in his 40s … approached the emir and tried to embrace him, but people around pushed him away, and at that moment, a bomb concealed under his caftan went off,” one witness said. Those wounded included the emir’s bodyguard, a mosque aid worker and a nurse, the witness said. The attack was said to have occurred as worshippers left the mosque following Friday prayers. There was no immediate claim for the attack, though Potiskum has been hard hit by violence blamed on radical Islamist group Boko Haram. www.vanguardngr.com/2012/08/b-r-e-a-k-i-n-g-n-e-w-s-several-wounded-as-cleric-escapes-suicide-attack/ |

shuoooo! dese suicide bombers no dey tire, these suicide bombers/boko haram are giving a bad name to muslims in nigeria and should not follow the middle east/pakistani/somalia in all of this nonesense, muslim terrorism has given a bad name to the religion, Nigerian government should focus on the security of its citizen for f*ck sake!!! im sick and tired of hearing of bombings after bombings mtchewwwwww This might sound harsh but if I was the president I would mainly tighten up the security of the country by targeting muslims in Nigeria because they are the reason for all of this nonesense happening, not all muslims but alot of them, Ive never heard of a christian blowing himself up or causing bomb explosions, am I not right? mtchewwwww |
