Another Bomb Blast in Jos ... Scores of People feared Dead
« on: June 10, 2012, 04:02:24 PM »


Scores of people were feared dead on Sunday after a bomb attack on a church in Jos, the Plateau state capital during Sunday service, the government said.

Government spokesman Pam Ayuba said a bomb exploded near the church, adding that government sources feared “scores” of people had been killed and injured after the church collapsed with the force of the explosion.

Ayuba said the bombing of the God Chosen Church could be a “sustained war of attrition on our people by enemies of the state,” which he said “has been going on for a while now.”

The local coordinator of the National Emergency Management Agency (NEMA), Alhassan Danjuma Aliyu, told AFP that the wounded had been taken to the Jos University hospital. He did not give any numbers.
