A suicide-car bombing in the northern Nigerian city of Kano killed at least five people late yesterday after it detonated in a mainly Christian area, while police said they foiled a second attack.
The bomber and four other people died in the explosion near a bar at 10 p.m. in the Sabon Gari area of Nigeria’s largest city in the predominately Muslim north, Musa Magaji Majiya, a spokesman for Kano state police, said by phone today. Another car primed with explosives was discovered shortly after the explosion about 2 kilometers (1.2 miles) away.
