Suicide attack on Nigerian church kills three

 

A suicide car bomber detonated his explosives outside a large church yesterday, killing three people and wounding 38 in the central Nigerian city of Jos, where hundreds have died in religious and ethnic violence.

The explosion hit the headquarters of the Church of Christ during its early morning service. A woman, and a father and his child were killed.

The bomber apparently ran down the woman while he was speeding to the church.
