A suicide car bomber detonated his explosives Sunday morning on a busy road after apparently turning away from attacking Nigerian churches holding Easter services, killing at least 38 people in a massive blast that rattled a city long at the center of religious, ethnic and political violence in the nation.
The blast struck Kaduna, the
capital of Kaduna state, leaving charred motorcycles and debris
strewn across a major road in the city where many gather to eat at
informal restaurants and buy black market gasoline. Nearby hotels and
homes had their windows blown out and roofs torn away by the force of
the powerful explosion, which engulfed a group of motorcycle taximen.
