2-Gunmen and suicide bomber attack Nigerian churches

MAIDUGURI/JOS, Nigeria, June 10 (Reuters) – Militants
attacked two churches in Nigeria on Sunday, spraying the
congregation of one with bullets, killing several people, and
blowing up a car in a suicide bombing at the other, injuring 41,
witnesses said.

No one was killed by the car bombing in the central city of
Jos, but mobs of youths attacked bystanders in retaliation,
killing two, police said.

There was no claim of responsibility. Attacks on churches
have become a trademark tactic of Islamist group Boko Haram,
which says it is fighting to reinstate an ancient Muslim
caliphate in northern Nigeria.

Hamidu Wakawa was at the church in Biu Town in northeastern
Borno state when it was attacked. “Three gunmen came to the
premises of the church and started firing at people outside the
church before going into the main building to carry on their
killings,” he said.
