Explosion at north Nigeria Catholic church


BAUCHI, Nigeria (AP) — Witnesses say an explosion has struck near a Catholic church in north Nigeria, a region under attack by a radical Islamist sect.

An Associated Press journalist heard the explosion after 9 a.m. Sunday in the city of Bauchi. The AP journalist said the blast occurred at St. John's Catholic Church in the city.

Emergency responders declined to immediately say whether there were casualties, though the explosion occurred during an early morning Mass.

A radical Islamist sect known as Boko Haram has attacked churches throughout Nigeria's north with gunmen and suicide car bombers. The sect is blamed for more than 680 killings this year alone in Nigeria, according to an AP count.

That doesn't make this administration incompetent... Ȋ̝̊̅† only shows how brainwashed some nigerians have been!

What are these people still doing in Bauchi?

God will fight for His people in this nation

@MODS....front page please

There are minority Native Christians who are originally are from Bauchi, the can't run from their fatherland. They need our prayers.

I thought the JTF executed their top leaders...anyway I believe that they would be crushed.

Its just a matter of time

people came out yest to protest about a private film made thousands of kilometres away while they have never come out to protest/openly criticize Boko Haram which operates right under their noses. Hypocrisy!!
Christians will continue to attend mass and go to church everyday because, nothing, even persecution can separate us from the love of Christ.

hope muslims will come out to protest the insane and barbaric killing of innocent and defenseless people just like they came out to protest a YouTube video.

So sad. BH strikes when they want. So sad its the innocent people that will pay for the Government's inconpetence with their lives. JTF will be busy shooting DEAD anybody they can sight, as if killing suspects will end it, instead of gathering enough intelligence to prevent further attacks. And someone will pop up now to tell us to they are on top of the situation. Life really does not mean anything in Nigeria. Very sad.

Bauchi indigins are converting Ť☺ christian daily hence τhe increase in churches there so don't blame them for wanting Ť☺ serve God

Is it a repraisal as a result of its captured leader or taking out of anger because of the anti-islamic movie? These folks believe fighting for their god is obligatory. Shall we still sit back while they wear away our numbers? Impossible!

rafhell: hope muslims will come out to protest the insane and barbaric killing of innocent and defenseless people just like they came out to protest a YouTube video.

religion of piss and tolerance indeed.

ffuck you all and ur demonic prophet. you will all die one day and go to hell!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Now dat's 1 hell of a stupid statement from a useless fool

Bros.. Its not d FG's incompetence..... But a few foolish Nigerians who do not wish well for this country.
If i stupidly decide to blow up a market place, how is dat FG's incompetence?

D attacks aren't even because dere are no jobs or schools, its not even because of d poverty level.. Its just first class insanity!

this BH guys are animals was it written in there book to kill for pleasure, God save naija

Was at scene myself. unable to take pictures cos of security personnels. A car ran towards the church gate after service and was shatered injuring lots of people.

GOD help naija. I know GOD is nigerian, infact an ibo man. GOD pls help ur people oh

THE ZOMBIES.

Police and military surrounded the church and did not allow journalists inside the cordon. Yushau Shuaib, a spokesman for Nigeria's National Emergency Management Agency, said a suicide bomber targeted the church.

"Rescuers have evacuated the dead and injured," Shuaib said.

Muslims being the peace-loving and violence-averse people they are will surely protest against these killings of non-muslims by their radical brethren. This surely needs more reaction than a movie in America about a prophet who's been dead for centuries.

Shameless pigs, the killing of innocent souls all in the name of what

God help us, some people were beginning to ask about the whereabouts of boko haram, now they've struck again, hope nobody died from d explosion, boko haram, is proving to become more tactful everyday, belike say dem don watch and study all d ways when jack baur dey use take dey fight terrorists, dem don learn finish, may God help us,
