Dozens Dead In Nigeria Twin Bombings

At least 46 people have been killed and dozens injured by two bomb explosions in the central Nigerian city of Jos, police say. The first blast was in a busy market and the second went off outside a nearby hospital. No group has said it carried out the attack but Boko Haram militants have carried out a spate of recent bombings. Jos has also seen deadly clashes between Christian and Muslim groups in recent years. A spokesperson for the regional governor told AFP news agency that most of the victims were women. The market and bus terminal are part of the commercial centre of Jos. The second blast was some 30 minutes after the first and killed some rescue workers. Journalist Hassan Ibrahim told the BBC that tension was rising in the area, with youths blocking some roads. Religious leaders are appealing for calm.
