Twin bombs were set off in a Nigerian business district packed with commuters and traders killing over 100 people today, reports The Guardian.
No organisation has claimed responsibility for the blasts in the city of Jos, although commentators suspect that the attack is another attempt by the militant group Boko Haram to showcase its capabilities ahead of the Nigerian general elections.
Boko Haram have been responsible for recent bombings and the kidnapping of over 200 children.
Several countries have pledged to help assist the Nigerian government in rescuing the schoolgirls, with surrounding nations agreeing to wage war on Boko Haram.
