KANO, Nigeria: An explosion rocked an area near a mosque in the violence-torn city Nigerian city of Maiduguri on Friday, residents said, but it was unclear whether there were any casualties.

The blast comes after a series of Christmas attacks in Nigeria blamed on Islamist sect Boko Haram killed at least 42 people, most of them outside a Catholic church near the capital, and set off fears of reprisals from Christians.

"There was a loud blast near the mosque just after the Friday prayers as people were trooping out of the mosque," one resident said. "Everybody scampered to safety, leading to a stampede."

Boko Haram has carried out scores of attacks in Nigeria, most of them in the northeast. The group's targets in that region have included Muslim leaders.

Thousands have fled Maiduguri fearing further attacks by Boko Haram and heavy-handed military raids, with soldiers accused of killing civilians and burning their homes after bomb blasts.

Blast near mosque in northeast Nigeria kills four
An explosion killed four people in the violence-torn city Nigerian city of Maiduguri as Muslim faithful left a mosque after Friday prayers, the military and residents said.

The blast comes after a series of Christmas attacks blamed on Islamist sect Boko Haram killed at least 42 people, most of them outside a Catholic church near the capital Abuja, and raised fears of reprisals from Christians.

"There was a loud blast near the mosque just after the Friday prayers as people were trooping out of the mosque," one resident said. "Everybody scampered to safety, leading to a stampede."

Another resident, Mohammed Bukar, reported four dead and others wounded.

"There was confusion following the blast," he said. "When the dust settled, I saw four dead people being loaded into a vehicle along with some wounded in the blast."

Personally don't think so . . . . But anyway . . . . .

Who is fooling who? This is jst a decoy to make luk like a political attack, this is a religious war.

Later people like Afam4eva and his felllow ibo brothers will come and tell us that ibos are primary targets of boko bombs.Are these muslims attacked also ibos as afam and others claimed the madalla bombing was directed as ibos ?

Let them continue oh.

This is looking more like a political struggle in preparation for a coup.

they are bombing church, they are bombing mosque, what really is their aim? I am really confused here

The depopulation agenda of the black race by the western imperialist monsters. This is the work of the CIA. Nigerians think! Africans think!

I knew this was coming. Heard the rumour. I was thinking it was Abuja central mosque, I wonder why they changed plans.

Exactly. By the way, who is ready for this back and forth bombing? For how long?

lol.

when i talk they would say alj harem is a lair etc

Again I repeat, Boko haram does not fight for Islam or northerner

^^It's obvious that the grouse is not (simply) religious. This is the point I've been making.

some people are clearly after the downfall of this government. It is becoming clearer by the day.

make it look like a religious war, but their real intention is for the crises to approach a point where a military intervention becomes glaringly inevitable.

and what better way to achieve that than to get Christians & Muslims and go after each other.

I bet they (whoever the are) will be pretty disappointed that other than the isolated incident in Delta State, there hasn't been a more ferocious retaliation to the Xmas bombing.

When did i say that igbos are the primary target of bokoharam?

BH wants to deviate attention from xtians preparation against them but they cant deceive xtians. 42 died in church and properties destroyed whereas 4 died in mosque.

In Nigeria, its only shrine that is save now?

When you and onlylies decided to tribalize the madalla attack !

Dude, military intervention is impossible in this day and age. Any such adventure will immediately lead to a bloody war.

It is simply that the core-Northern elite do not want the country to make progress under GEJ, so they are attempting to divert govts attention from development to security. That is the real goal of boko haram.

I disagree with you, if they are not fighting for islam and northerners, how come the northern elders can't do anything to stop them??

chipmunkey:

My prayer for the rest of the year is that the bomb attacks don't get to Lagos.

The SW is the area in the South that is most lukewarm to boko haram, so it would be id!otic strategy for them to bomb Lagos.
Let us pray instead, that Delta state youths stop being bravely stup!d and stop bombing Muslims.
