Nigeria unrest: Suicide bomb targets church in Jos

This latest suicide bomb by car is just one of the many that have happened in the city of Jos. Christians and Muslims are at war with each other, however it seems that the majority of violence has been brought forth by the Muslims.

This latest bombing has sparked a riot by Christian youth. This is very troubling. It seems that these two faiths cannot seem to open any kind of dialogue. The President, Goodluck Johnathan has condemned the violence and as asked for peace. In a statement to the press the President said,

"Those who seek to divide us by fear and terror will not succeed,"

"The indiscriminate bombing of Christians and Muslims is a threat to all peace-loving Nigerians."

The driver apparently drove the car through the church gates killing one woman and then detonated the bomb killing a father and his children. It has been reported that 38 people have been taken to the hospital for treatment.
