Suicide bomber in Nigeria wounds nearly 100

Sunday morning, a suicide bomber drove a jeep into a crowded Catholic Church. The explosion killed at least 5 and wounded around 100. The area in Northern Nigeria is a violent area because of ethnic and religious differences. So far, no group has come forward to claim the attack. But, an Islamist sect Boko Haram has claimed similar attacks in the past. The bombing sparked reprisals amoung some Christian youths in the area. After the blast angry Christians youths took to the streets and 2 bodies were seen laying in pools of blood. The violence is stirring up in the area and most of the violence seems to be fueled by religious differences.
