Explosion Hits Kano Central Mosque

Scores of people are feared dead in a bomb blast that occurred today at Kano Central Mosque as Muslim faithful prepared for their Friday Jumaat prayers.

The bomb blast which caused serious pandemonium as people ran helter-skelter for their lives, followed immediately with sporadic gunshots. Police have now taken over the area with numbers of casualties yet unknown.

Update: A new report says at least 120 people were killed during the blasts that involved two suicide bombers and 270 others wounded. The causalities were much because as survivors made to run from the scene, gunmen who were standing by opened fire on them. It’s just really sad.
