Blasts kill 118 in Nigeria

Two explosions in a market took at least 118 lives in Nigeria yesterday.

The market, in the city of Jos, was ablaze after two explosions, some 20 minutes apart, tore through it. People are still being recovered from the debris.

Plateau State Commissioner Chris Olakpe described the blasts as "terrorist activities," but refused to speculate on who might be responsible.

The first blast was a suicide car bomb, while the second was caused by an improvised explosive device in a separate car.
